Ford tire fitment guides
Ford · Ranger
33-inch tires
A 33-inch-class tire is a realistic Ranger upgrade, but it is not automatically rub-free. Narrow metric sizes and conservative positive offset are easier to package than a wide 33×12.50 on an aggressive wheel.
Usually achievable
Ford · Ranger
35-inch tires
A true 35-inch tire is not a bolt-on upgrade for a standard Ranger. Lift alone does not create steering clearance: wheel offset, crash-bar strategy, liner clearance and the tire’s measured width still control the result.
