I wanna purchase some Rock Crawlers. But i was wondering on the bolt pattern of the ranger. I dont know if it matters but im a 2wd xlt.

Any help would be great!

no, it doesnt matter. rangers are 5 on 4.5" may be seen as 5-4.5

 

sweet....thanks

 

How about Width.........whats the widest thats best?

 

What size tires do you want?

 

its recomended that you go no less then 3 inches of your tire width. many people go 4 like putting a rim width of 8 inches in a 12.50 tire.

12.50s require a different backspacing then stock if im not mistaken.

 

Well chances are im not gonna do a lift for a while. So i believe the biggest i can go is 31's which isnt to bad anyway. Will give me a lil lift with jsut the rim and tire package. so like i said 31's is prolly gonna be about it for a while.....

 

Go with 15x8 rims than

 

What he said.

 

15x8 rims with 3.25" ( i believe) backspacing to look semi stock or 4" backspacing to get the wider stance. being a xlt and having no flares. I say 15x8 5-4.5 and 3.25 backspacing.

 

I think the stock backspacing is 4.25 or around there. having 4 inch backspacing would tuck the wheels in even more, and 3.25 would push them out, wider stance.

I think leo's confused, mabey I am tho. lol

 

factory is 4.5 or so, 4 inch will push them out some, 3.25 will push them out more. the backspacing is the part of the rim that will be on the inside

 

Stock backspacing is very close to 4 - The smaller the backspacing, the further the wheel will stick out "Wider Stance"

 

i just got a set of 15x8 with 3.75 b/s and its the perfect fit... just a little wider than stock and a great look

 

Hence why i started this thread. Those pix you posted got me SERIOUSLY interested in those wheels. I love those rock crawlers. I know alot of guys have them but damn do they look good.... What tire size did you get? 31?

 

I have the same set-up and agree

 

yeah i kept the same tires i had (31x10.5x15) since i had been planning on getting these for a while... i was gonna get them from www.4wheelparts.com but a buddy of mine had them and gave them to me for a very good price i did shop around though and 4wheelparts had the best prices i could find... around $190 shipped for mine i think

 

ok so u buy 8 inch rims and put 10 inch wide tires on it? is that safe? or am i just being stupid?

 

190 for your rims?

 

I just thought of it backwards, my bad. I always had the cobra rims, which had 5.95" of backspacing , and were 9" wide. bleh.

 

They will be fine - I used to run 31x10.5 on them and now run 32x11.5 - It's all good

 

yep 190 brand new from 4wheelparts and its fine for 10 inch wide tires to go on a 8 inch wide rim... next time im gonna go with 32x11.5 i think

 

what about the 96 year model? is the bolt pattern the same?

 

bolt pattern should be the same from 93+ . .not sure about earlier
