95 Wrangler wheels on a 00 ranger

So i found some 15in steelies off a stock jeep for 60 bucks. searching around they are the same bolt pattern, says the back spacing is 5.5, so im thinking this should be fine since ours is 4 or 4.5. ive got 10.56 rotors up front which are the bigger ones i believe, so i should clear them. Just thought i'd ask on here and double check. Plan on running the general grabber at2 tires. .just for around town/highway use, ill be buying a spare set or wheels/tires for offroad use.

Icon2 FYI:

Measure the hub hole...........they are the same 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern, but I know the aluminum wheels like my Canyon's have to be machined out, as the hubs on a Ranger are longer than a Jeeps......

Post some pics & GOOD LUCK!

5.5 backspacing is a ton! You want to go down in BS not up. Basically instead of the wheel sticking out from the truck its being sucked in more.
