ford ranger bigger wheels

[miker]

my ranger has 15 inch rims at the moment, if i put 16 inch rims on apart from gearing it up a bit,does it affect speedo ? any other potential problems to look out for? cheers

change the tyre profile and everything will be the same including the gearing

cheers mate, so if i went from a 75 profile to a 70 should be the same?

The speedo will need to be reset as I did a similar thing to my jimny. What do you aim to achieve by fitting bigger wheels?

dont like alloys that much, but have seen some modular steel wheels,but they only come in 16 inch

Ahh okay well if your not after a bigger looking wheel then you could do the math and get as close to the original size as you can. If you put your tyre size here I can probs work it out for you as best as possible

235/75/15 is what i have at the moment, cheers mate

In that case then and by my calculations 235 70 16 will come in at exactly the same diameter as 235 75 15 so you'll be fine, no need to reset the speedo and won't alter the gearing at all 👍

I've got 16's on mine but had to cut the front arches to stop rubbing also could do with a lift for 16's the speedo is still bang on accurate though

Thanks guys, you answered a question I didn't even know I had! I'm looking to move from road tyres to a/ts on my Mazda. Currently running 265/75R15. Will make a note of that, see if can get entire wheels on ebay.
