I found these wheels

Will these fit on my 2002 ranger xlt 4wd? I want about an inch of tire outside the fenderwell all the well around. I dont think the offset is enough but i am unsure about the whole offset thing.

NO


they Might fit, but they are a FWD rim, which means the sit in VErY far in the wheel well


so unless you run a 2inch spacer/adapter, they will not fit like you wanted

they would look cool, but you would need spacers

you do realize that is a 10inch wide rim right?


meaing you need to run at least a 12.5 wide tire for good wear?

yes i will be runnign super swamper truxus mts in a 33/12.5/16 with a rim to be decided what would you reccommend with these tires? an 8 inch rim? any specific reason or just the fact that i will have more logical choices. if i decide on the 8 inch rim will it let the tire wear right with a 12.50 tire?

naw, you can run a 12.5 wide tire on a 8 or 10.


i dont personally know the backspacing for a 10inch wide rim.

If it was an 8inch, you would want something like a 4inch backspacing or a 3.75

so this would be pretty much exactly what i am looking for? 16x8 0mm offset 4" backspacing? what does the offset mean? and how far would that put the tire outside of the fenderwell? and if i get a 3.75" offset is it just .25" more outside the fenderwell or is it some kind of bigger jump. liek i said i only want about an inch to an inch and a half out side the fenderwell
