| |  The Biggest Tires Possible
Hey Guys,
I was just wondering what the biggest tire size I can put on my stock 1998 ranger without any kind of lift. It's 2wd, has a 4 cyl 2.5L engine, and a 5 speed manual transmission. Also, if I do get bigger tires I was wondering what type of perfromance if any I would need to add to my engine.

30s. Not too much you can do performance wise other than getting a chip/tuner. Intake/exhaust could help some, but in the end it is still a 4 cylinder. Or you can look into a turbo.

would I need to do any trimming or shaving on the wheel wells or could I just put on the 30s and be fine?

30's will fit. Actually, I had thought you get 31's under there. But you're safe at 30".

31s would probably require some trimming, but 30s no worries.

BFG A/T are always a solid choice. Not too much road noise and great off road performance. Depends on how much you are willing to spend, how much you care about road noise. SInce M/Ts have much more aggressive but have a lot more road noise.
