no what i ment was not like low low pro's because those look odd on rangers it looks better with a little meety street tire...if that made any sence

i dont like the look that much, the rim design just doesnt appeal to me, i like the black rim with the bright lip, but the spokes dont do anything for me. also the price seems a bit high for 18s..... esp black ones

No they would stick in more if you have a higher number for backspacing. So if the new ones are 5 and the old ones are 3.25 then the new ones are gonna be sucked in closer to your truck.
