Its a pump gas 92 ranger with stock suspension, AOD tranny with a small block Ford motor. Stock interior and is driven daily and is completely street legal with current tag, registration, and insurance. My car is a 72 Scamp, full interior, carpet, stock suspension, 9.5 to 1 pump gas small block. Is there any problem with me running my car with a factory width wheel and tire?

Actually I don't care who wins, it makes no difference to me. I told him as soon as he pulled into the lanes no front skinnies. No skinnies is no skinnies and you can try to argue the point all you want but no ranger ever came with a 165 front tire. I will not make a front tire minimum size, forget that. If you want a minimum size then make it a 225 front tire. Any car made the last 20 years will carry more rubber then that. The problem with that is then my camaro with stock 205 front tire would not be legal or your ranger if it showed up on stock 195 front tires wouldn't be either, this is why there is not and will not be a front tire minimum size. A 195 on a ranger is fine, a 195 on a c5 corvette is a skinny tire and would not be allowed. See the difference? Running a 72 scamp? well since we do not allow a bias ply and that car came with a bias ply so we can not compare a direct stock size then I would assume a 205 or 215 front tire is on the car now?
