I tried looking through other threads but none seemed very clear. I want to put 17" mustang replicas on a 93-97 ranger dropped about 3/4. What size wheels and tires front and rear are as wide as i can go with no rubbing, Thanks

17x9 will fit fine but may rub on the shocks slightly and the hub will stick thru where the center cap should be....I even tried spacers but they wont work so you would need adapters to use the center caps.

 

17x8(maybe 9s). 245/45/17s on the front, 275/40/17s on the rear. 1.25" adapters on the front. very very minor rubbing on the lower shock bolt at full lock. may rub inner fender well on large bumps at high way speed.

 

are you talking about the kit that goes to a hat style rotor with seperate hub? if so, i saw that kit on here too but supposed it was only for 98 and up.

so would 17x9 with 24mm offset with 245 45 17 up front and 17x10 with 20mm offset 275 40 17 out back work? these are from a mustang site but im curious about which spacers and such.

No i'm talking about using 1.25" spacers........the kit your talking about is probably for the 98+ Rangers.

 

oh ok thanks i got kind of confused when you said adapters but now i got ya. So what is required out back to run a 17x10 or would one with a 20mm offset work fine as is?

 

also where are you guys getting spacers from?

 

if you run 1.25" adapters, you may need to trim your stock wheel studs.

 

as in they might stick through and contact the back of the wheel?

 

yep. some wheels may have recesses in between the holes for the lugs that would clear the stock studs, where as most oem wheels don't.

 

so 17x9 with 24mm offset and 1.25" adapter with 245 45 17 up front and 17x10 with 20mm offset 275 40 17 out back?
