Would these wheels fit my truck? Its a 2004 and 2wd. Or do I need a spacer? I can get them for 100 bucks and i can powdercoat them black so i feel like it'd be a good deal

 

Yes they'll fit but you do need spacers.

 

do you know what size

 

Not too sure, I've never actually done it myself. I'm sure someone else will chime in shortly though!

 

You will need a minimum of 1 inch spacers for the front , I am using 1 1/2 inch spacers on the front and 1 1/4 inch spacers on the rear . As for tire size , 245/45/17 , I am using 235/55/17 on mine , they are a bit tall so my speedo is running slow .

 

I think they might look good. Only one way to find out. lol

 

Yeah im doing...I think hopefully the dude still has them so ill find out friday

 

Let me know if your going to buy tires somewhere. I know a guy.

 

I had these on my truck for awhile. Tires were 32's and only rubbed at full lock.

 

Hey Alex i work at ford i get tires for less then cost if you need tires lol and Brad those are close but not quite them and mines getting smaller tires and lowering the truck (FINALLY) sick of people thinking mines 4wd

 

02slammedranger I understand that, but they are 17x8.5 front/rear on that with 6.5" backspacing. Just giving you an idea. You definitely will need at least a 1" spacer.

 

Oh good call man and thanks

 

i am running those wheels on my 95. a 1.25" spacer up front, none in the rear (expo axle). 275/40/17 out back and 205/45 up front

 

You have any pics Troy?

 

best i can find at the moment

 

Damn dude that looks pretty clean. Im going to see if the guy still has them tomorrow and then im making spacers at work

 

do you say you need spacers because of the looks or because it rubbs? i dont quite understand

 

you need spacers so the wheels will mount correctly. I think its because of the 2wd hub. The dust cap interferes.

 

so its not a rubbing issue other than the hub assembly

 

i run a 1.25" spacer to clear the dust cap...it also put the track width right with the rear. the wheels sat very nicely up to the fender edge. without them, they were tucked in a lot.

 

So you do not run the spacers in the back? The reason I ask so much is bc I just bought a set online for 75 bucks

 

i don't have any on the rear. i have an explorer axle, and that is 1.5" wider than a stock ranger axle.


no real need to run them to clear any covers

 

ok thanks

 

I am pretty sure those are chrome ponies. Leave them that way.

 

They ended up selling before i could get them and i hate chrome
