15s or 16s???
im gonna do a 32" tire if i go 15... but im thinking about 16 also since theres more choice of rims. Will 16 rims and 32 tires rub on stock height? Will be adding a 3" bl soon. ?

Crank the t-bars and you will be fine.
16" tires are generally 100-150 dollars more then 15"

Re: 15s or 16s???
I just went down to 15x8 from 16x7. STL's right - tires and wheels were not much more than just tires for the 16s.

Re: 15s or 16s???
I think i said this on a thread the other day lol but if your are getting new wheels go with the 15 its more economical all around IMO I would only invest in 16" tires if your already have 16" wheels. FYI: I have 16's (Stock) with 32's (285/75/16) and have no problems rubbing (T Bars leveled)

Re: 15s or 16s???
16s and 32s will work fine, and look better IMHO but as everyone else has pointed out you pay dearly for that extra inch.

Re: 15s or 16s???
And this is why I wish Ford had made more appealing wheels in the 15" size. The only rims I like on 1998+ Rangers are 16".

Re: 15s or 16s???
The way I look at it. It's all personal opinion. It all depends on your taste and wallet. 16" tired are more expensive, but I think 16" wheels look best on a ranger. However if I was running a truck that see's more offroad then street action I'd be on a 15" wheel without a doubt.
