On the '97 Ranger, I wouldn't recommend it. The older Rangers had weak brakes to start with, and the larger tires will make this worse, maybe even dangerous. The brake diameter was increased in the later models, but I don't know what year that was done.
For instance, when I put 31" tires on my old '91, the brake pedal required a lot of pressure for anything more than a normal stop, but my 2004 FX4 came with 31" tires as stock and the brakes are very good.

31 inch tires were released on 93 and newer Rangers but they were called P265/75R15.
They were only available on 4x4 because of clearance issues with 4x2 Rangers and the were only available with 4.0L motor and 3.73 axle ratio because of driveability issues with all other engine sizes and axle ratios.
