put on the 31's. 235' are old news. the thing to do with strock 235's is after they wear out get some 31's. you'll be happy you did. they look better and are really not that much more.

They should look good, I had 31's on my Ranger with the stock wheel, and my mom is running them right now on her '86 Ranger.

Go to be different rim though, you will be happier.
