Well www.4wheelparts.com and www.summitracing.com have good deal on black steel wheels. Going with either a 15x7 or 15x8 would be good for those tires. Another thing helpful to know is the bolt pattern. For Rangers we have a 5 on 4.5 rim. 5 lugs and 4.5 inches from lug to lug across (measure from one lug to not the next one but the one after). Backspacing of 3.75-3.625 inches would stick the tire out farther but will look "meaner". These should work for you.

whooppssss....sorry about that, umm well I'll get links to the 16 inchers. I'm sorry, I'm just so used to 15" rims. And as far as tire width and height, usually about 31.5" or so, and 10-10.5 inches wide. I'm having a hard time finding the same black ones in 16x8 in our bolt pattern. Procomp has nice alloys that are polished but if you want black either someone else will chime in or I'll keep searching. Sorry about the confusion though.

Go over to 4wheelparts.com or summitracing.com (except summits have a red/blue stripe you should paint over to make it look good) and order some 16x8 cragar/pro comp 5 on 4.5 with a good 4" b/s. They will look very nice on the vehicle!
