Will 15" rims fit on a Ranger that came stock with 16" rims?.....Do you have to modify anything or can you just swap them out?

To me the wheels are pretty cheap I spent 400 for 1 wheel for my mach1
so 120 ea is not that bad + 50,000 to wear out my bfg's to long to wait

it depends on the rim and year of the truck... the 15" edge plus rims will not fit on 2003 and up 4x4 trucks because of the larger brakes but 15" rock crawlers should fit

Dang it! I'd say go with 15" too but as has already been stated you already bought the tires. Personally the MT classic 2 looks good, but like every truck on the planet has some variation of that design. Holes in a circle. I like something different but it's not my truck.
