Default 1996 mazda B4000 SE

Hey guys, I am gonna need new tires for my truck soon. I was thinking of getting a set of new wheels and tires. I am not a truck enthusiast really more of a awd turbo enthusiast so this stuff is new to me. I am looking to get something that's good on and off road like north eastern snowy conditions. This truck is my work truck and not really a prestige vehicle bud in decent shape. What tires size and wheels size should I consider? I don't plan on doing a lift neither. It seems the front sits lower than the rear on ths truck? I guess that's designed so there is no sag when there is a load in the bed... Also my rear bed is badly rusted around the mounts closest to the cab. To the point where the passenger side is rusted through the sheet metal. Any advice on how to fix? Also the driver side front fender clear coat is pretty much gone. Will a ranger front fender fit and what years are compatible with the mazda or ranger. Thanks

I cant advise on the body work, but for a good on/off road tire check out the Firestone Destination A/T. They are the lightest weight out of all the A/T tires and seem to be great in all conditions. Common sizes for tires are 31x10.5x15's. Discount tire direct is a good place to pick up wheel/tire combos you can get the firestone's and MB72 wheels for a good price, check it out

What size is the stock tire? I had a 1996 Mazda B3000 SE 4x2 with 225/70-14 as stock...hard to find size....went with 27's to stay close to stock. Would have been nice if the tires were 15 inch...much more selection available.

I have 235/75r 15. I am looking to maybe buy a set of steel wheels. I was wondering what offset I need and how wide I can go.

----------

I like the look when the wheels are beefy and sticking out a bit.
