So, I went over to Walmart to get some new tires for my 2008 ford ranger xl 2wd. I was planning on putting 31x10.5x15 tires (goodyear wrangler authority $148 each) on there to replace my small 225x75x15 tires. The guy there said there is no way they will fit without a 2 or 3" lift and as it is the biggest that can fit on it is a 235x75x15. Also that they would rub like no other when turning and with a load in the back. According to the chart 31's will fit with some trimming maybe.

XLT & XL 2wd
* 15x7 stock suspension - 215x75x15, 235x75x15, 235x60x15, 30x9.5x15, 31x10.5x15(may need to trim)
* 15x8 stock suspension - 30x9.5x15, 31x10.5x15(may need to trim)
Idk, 31's did seem like it would be a really tight fit. For some reason on my tuck, its got a plastic bumper that comes back far toward the wheelwell and it might rub there too. Ive seen pictures of older ones with 31's but their body looks like it's a little bit different than mine. Is there anybody with a newer model like mine with 31's on there? I just dont want to waste 700 bucks on tires that dont fit my truck. What tire size will fit on my truck for sure?
Hmmm, looks like it sits just as high as mine. I think xlt is just a trim and extras package, edge sits a little higher in the rear, and 4x4 sits higher front and back. (but correct me if im wrong)
Oh, one more question. When ive got a load in the bed, I mean really loaded down. Will the tires rub the wheelwells in the back with 31's?
Alright, went to wally world today and got the tires after arguing with the guy for a while on whether or not they will fit. Eventually he put them on. I cant stand walmart employees!!! The 31's fit with no rubbing Thanks for all your help!
