2011 wheels/tires - Page 4

I new to the forum as well and thought this would be the right place to ask. This will be my first ever aftermarket set of wheels/tires.

I have a 2011 Sport 2wd and looking to put wheels and tires on it.
I want to get the
M/T Classic Lock Black 15x8 (-30 offset)
with BFG A/T KO 31x10.5
Stock suspension

Are any adjustments recommended or problems you guys see with doing this?

I have 265/75r16's on mine stock. They clear just fine. I just cranked my t-bars a little for looks to level it out. Didn't need to tho. I am going to wat till I get a body lift to get wider wheels tho as for it will mak contact with the fender if I flex it at all. It clears now just fine on stock wheels flexed out.

I wanted to chime in here so first off a 15" rim will not fit a 2011 fx4 and a rebar crank doesn't give you much lift( at least on mine) crawl under there and try it just count your threads before you do it. Second o all these guys are right about aftermarket parts as log as your work doesn't cause something to fail because of you your good to go.

What do you mean a 15" rim won't fit? Did you mean something else besides how I'm reading it?

Think he means that in 2010 they put disc brakes in the rear which cause clearance issues with the brake caliper and the vast majority of 15 inch rims. As you saw from Jeweler54's post where his 2010 had 15's it's clear that some 15 will clear the caliper but its something you need to be aware of. I'm guessing 3.75 backspacing minimum might fit but to be safe and for a meaner look i think you'll want a 3.25 backspacing. I've been looking for new rims myself and I'm trying to find out what will work.

I wanted to go with a 15 but it wouldn't clear my calliper so I went 17 lmao

Wrong. A 15 inch wheel fits fine! Make sure to position wheel weights correctly or the will grab the rear calipers.

15x8 pro comps with 32x11.50 km2's. fit just fine.

As long as the wheel backspace is 3.25-4.25 you will be fine.

How much space is there between the brake and the rim ?

He used to have a 2010 Sport 4x4.

Some Info here ---> 2010 Ranger Sport 4x4: Lifted/Tires/Wheels

Nope - Same brakes.

2011 Sport (USA) = 2011 FX4 (Only available in Canada)

Vblueranger · #57 06-03-2013, 03:56 PM

We will go with the rim then, if you don't have enough room for a weight, you should be concerned about rocks getting wedged in there. I have that problem with my quad, broke 2 rims that way

Ok - But what I was trying to clarify that in the USA there is no such thing as a 2011 FX4.

About 1/2 inch clearance. I switched to 285/75R16 A/T's later on for a smoother ride/economy on different wheels.
