Wheels?
Alright. I was looking at wheels on ebay. I plan on buying a set on Friday. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3ARTQ%3AUS%3A1 I liked them for some reason. I sent a message to see if they fit and the response I got was "Hi
You Ranger will require a 5x1114.3 bolt pattern and an offset range of -10 to 18. This style will not fit the make of your vehicle. It has the right bolt pattern, but not the right offset and the wheel itself is too narrow for your car. The idea width for your car is between 8 to 9 inches(ie 18X8.5 and an offset of 18). "
Does this sound right? With all due respect I need definite answers if at all possible. I don't mind looking elsewhere but if this is good advice it gives me something to look for.

Factory Ranger wheels have +12mm offset and 7" width. Whether 7" is too narrow depends on the tire you intend to use. All stock Ranger tires are OK on 7" wheels.
Using the stock offset and tire size is the safest route. However, you can use less positive offset or even a small amount of negative offset before you run into big problems. Tire/wheel fitment has a lot of variables so there is no simple answer as to what fits.
