I'm not 100% sure what size tire came on your 2006 Ford Ranger but if the 245/75R16 spare you have is the stock tire then you won't have any problems with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13138 installed. We did have a customer send in a picture where the Curt receiver was really close to their tire but they had bumper up in size which is where the problem came from.

Attached is an installation video of this on a 2006 Ranger that you can check out.
