I have 31x10.50's on my Ranger with stock wheels. It had 265/75's when I got it. I like both tire sizes. My 31's fill it out a bit better but there really isn't that much of a size difference in them. A cheap set of 15's can be 90 bucks in my experience, but that was a set of steelies and they were for an 82 Chevy 3/4 ton I used to own. But I like simple, clean wheels and they were tough as nails. You're going to pay for a name a lot of the time with wheels. I've had stock wheels I liked way better than aftermarket wheels on some rigs. Pick a wheel you like and save for it. I wouldn't make cost an issue there. Just my 2 cents.

The ones I posted above are like $99 apiece. That is not bad at all! U can get steel wheels like soft 8s, but I don't want a heavy ass steel wheel.

Hey Richard, 265/75s are bigger than 31s, how did they fill it up more? Its only $100 more for the 16s and 265 vs 15s and 32s, so Im not gonna let a couple bucks be the deciding factor. Decision coming soon!!!

just think about future purchases as well. 16's will always be a little bit more. If you are going to buy new wheels and tires then I would just go with 15's. Easier to sell as well.

The only reason I still have 16's is because I had new tires when I started looking for new wheels

16x8 rockcrawler streetlocks. There are a few companies that make them now though, I like mine because they have little drain holes so water does not sit there and rust them. The procomp ones don't have that

Um 285's are going to be closer to a 33" tire, and imo there really isn't going to be tooo much of a difference in the 265 vs 32's... besides 32's will look better....

and i have cragar soft 8's and i think their awesome for the price. 40 bucks a rim! Powdercoated black, 15x8's.

plus the 285 will make ur truck ride like a tank according to shane because of the load rating and how stiff the tires are..I know Goodyear duratrec makes a 265/75/16 which is 31.7" or 32" while the 285's are 32.8" basically a 33" tire and they look mean. go to http://www.4wheelparts.com/Tires/Goo...n=GDY312018027


Id get the wheels now then get tires once ur current once wear out cuz thats what i plan on doing
