BFG KM3 with Rims

[claydoc]

Is anyone familiar with a company that sells the BFG KM3 32x11.5 R15 Light Truck tire mounted on a rim for the 1500? I would prefer them mounted obviously, but also balanced as well. I can find the UTV 32” tire combos, but not the 32” light truck tire with a combo.

I want to keep the same size rim and offset with aftermarket rims. What width rim and offset do I need to look for in rims?

Because you’re looking at two different sectors, you’ll probably have buy them separately. UTV wheels are typically much lighter than automotive wheels, and are better to use on UTVs. And as far as I’m aware, UTV shops (physical and online) don’t deal in automotive tires.

OEM offset on the wheels is 6/1, and for a 32-10R15 tire you’ll want a 15 x 7 wheel with 6/1 offset to stay the same as stock.

If you purchase them separately, pretty much any tire shop can mount and balance them, unless you go with beadlock wheels. Some tire shops won’t work with beadlocks.

Everything JTBarlow said is correct. If you want to have the tires sent to you mounted on rims I think KJ Motorsports is the best option but you will have to go with the BFG KM3 SXS tire not the LT tire. To do what you want to do you need to buy your rims from "somewhere" and buy your tires from "somewhere elses" then find someone to mount them and balance them. Since your want to go from a 10" wide tire to a 11.50" wide tire you might want to consider a 4/3 offset or whatever the metric version is. Either way it would push your tire out a few inches which would help avoid any clearance issues and give you a wider stance. The main drawback of this is it will make you a little wider and likely throw more mud up the side of your Ranger. Good luck!

Any recommendations for reasonable websites that sell online tires and wheels? I expect to have to order from 2 different websites.

KM Motorsports for UTV Wheels. You could always go with an automotive rim since your using LT Tires. I think any rim with the same bolt pattern should work. Maybe Tire Rack for rims and tires.

I think big red meant was KJ Motorsport.

Just a note about UTV vs. automotive wheels.
Most UTV wheels have a larger bead lump than automotive wheels, since UTVs typically run lower pressure in the tires. In automotive tires, the higher pressure helps keep the bead seated.

Yes, I meant KJ Motorsports, thanks Mr.C: for catching my mistake
