Lift + Bigger Tires or No Lift + Bigger Rims and Low Profile Tires?

[Moto959 10+ year member]

I drive an 03 Ford Ranger XL and was wondering whether I should lift it and get some bigger tires (32s or bigger?) or if I should keep it how it is but get some bigger rims (22s?) and some low profile tires?

you dont need pics of the **** truck.....

just put 22's on it and fit the lowpro's it will fit fine if you get the right size tires to go with it

I drive a blazer, not lifted or anything but I rock a set of mud terrains. Definatly a pain in the *** trying to stop road noise now. Also killed gas milage went from 17mpg to about 14 hwy. It sucks, but my truck looks sweet. Don't put rims on a truck especially a ranger. Gear up an lift it. The way I see it you can either baby some 22's and try not to scratch that big gaudy piece of chrome your rollin on or you can go baja off road and jump some shit. Go jump some shit. Screw wheels unless they are black and steel.

might also wanna consider bigger brakes with some heavy *** 22s, although i like the look of some nice 16/17s with big tires are more practical and get the job done

Yeah, and while your jumping shit you can destroy your suspension. Thats a much better plan. Its not that hard to keep your wheels looking nice. As long as you're not a retard and dont curb the shit out of them.

4WD = lift

2WD = big rims
