Control arm length of Ranger Raptor longer than standard Ranger?

[Offroad Dave]

So the control arms are 1 inch longer on the Raptor than the FX4, this would effect poke. If you did exactly the same wheel and tire setup as the raptor it might not clear the inside fender at full lock, this is the question we need to answer. I think the tire would still clear the control arms but would it clear the fender? I wonder what minimum positive offset is necessary for a 285 tire. We need to find someone that put Raptor wheels and tires on their FX4.
- I'm still a little curious if you can pull off 285/75R17's with the +55 offest, I know it required removing the crash bars and smashing the pinch welds with a +25 offset. There probably isn't a way to pull it off without removing the crash bars, just curious.

Did you find anything yet? I’m looking at going with 285/75r17 33.9” or 285/75r16 32.8” would like the extra height but want to keep the crash bars. Also wondering what largest size will fit in spare location. The 285/70r17 doesn’t have enough sidewall for me. Also looking into aftermarket crash bars

A 70 series sidewall on a 285 doesnt have enough side wall? Dang
