Moto Metal 951 Wheels?

I'm thinking about installing the 4" Superlift on my 2005 Ranger FX4. I'm trying to decide on some wheels and I'm leaning toward 16" or 17" MotoMetal 951s with 285/75R16 tires or 285/70R17 tires. My questions are:

1- Is there any reason these wheels wouldn't work on my ranger?

2- Does anyone have pics of Moto Metal 951 rims on a Ranger?

My Ranger (FYI):

I would think those would work out just fine on your truck with the SL, they have those 16x9 and 17x9 in two backspacing it looks like, i'd get the one more in the negative, it's like -12. I myself am looking into getting the same wheels in 18x9 -12 backspace on 35's.. but it's pretty hard to find pictures of Rangers with them on for reference, i don't think too many people have them.. I like them though.

I would look for a wider tire. Maybe like a 305 or get a 10 inch rim

They would work fine. Your truck is nice as-is though.
