tires for perrys front end conversion - Ford Explorer Ranger Enthusiasts "Serious Explorations"®

fordkrazy · 05-19-2001, 03:23 AM

i was wondering if it would look stupid to have the fiberglass conversion with no lift and factory rims with 31x10.5s on it? not sure how much flare is in the fenders. i ask this cause i just got the bfg's and dont have the dough to get more tires(and wheels) but was thinking about the kit as a b-day wish.

I got 32x11.5 with perry's fiberglass fenders and my friends are telling me I need wider tires because it looks goofy. I think anything less than 12.5 does makeit look weird.

The fenders are pulled about 4" . I've got them and I have 12.50 tires on 15x8 wheels with 3.25 backspacing and my tires come out just about to the edge of the fender. I think it would probably look funny without a lift, and only 31s. Just my opinion.

does anyone know how big of a tire you can fit with perry's kit and stock ride height? I have been considering the kit but don't have the money or know how for a lift right now.

the fronts should be able to fit a good sized tire, but the back, if stock, wont
