Hello, total truck and Ranger newbie here. I'm looking for some help figuring out which size wheels I need.

I bought a 2006 Ranger that came with 4 new backcountry all terrain tires from les schwab. The tires are size 23570R16 https://www.lesschwab.com/back-country-all-terrain-5955478.html

While the tires are nice and new, the wheels are mis-matched and one of them is the spare rim. I'm looking to buy 4 new wheels that will fit my truck and those tires. Can I use a 15 inch rim? What is the ideal wheel width for those tires? Are the width requirements different if I'm using a 15 inch rim vs a 16 inch rim? I've tried googling and searching this forum but am having trouble finding info for my situation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

The 16 in the 235/70R16 is the rim size, those tires will only fit 16" rims

The proper width for those tires is 6" to 8" rims.

 

Welcome to the forum

Yes, 235 70R16

16 means 16" wheels/rims only for those tires

Take a picture of one of your 3 matching wheels and then hit the wrecking yard to find a match

Or find a set of 4 16" wheels you like better

1998 to 2007 Rangers used these 16" wheels: https://www.therangerstation.com/tec...anger_rim3.JPG

2002 to 2007 used these 16" wheels: https://www.therangerstation.com/tec...anger_rim1.JPG

Only used in 1998/99, 16": https://www.therangerstation.com/tec...anger_rim5.JPG

Most Rangers used 14" or 15" wheels

 

Thank you both for the info, it's much appreciated
