I want to put my mustang rims back on my truck. I think I want to go with a 265 tire this time. Somewhere around 265/65 or 265/70. The rims are 17x8's. I currently have 245/45/17 low pros on them, and am kind of limited on space with the low pros on. I think I will need to crank a T-bars a few inches, and will I need a wheel spacer for the rims? I put them on last summer with the low pros with out a problem. My truck is a 2000 Ranger 4x4. Hope you guys can help!

Thanks,
Nick

My credo
"220, 221, whatever it takes."
Just crank the torsion bars enough to level it. Either tire should be fine. Mustang rims have more backspace so you will need a spacer about 1.25" or so.
