What is the pattern and offset for the stock wheels on a 2001 ranger?

 

5x4.5" bolt pattern and stock backspace is usually 4.5"

 

Offset of -1 inch (-25 mm) I think it is. Offset is how far "off center" the mounting surface is. Whereas backspacing is how far the mounting surface is from the back of the wheel.

Ranger stock wheels are 7" wide. A zero offset wheel would have the mounting surface at exactly the center, and that would be a backspacing of 3.5".

Ranger wheels have about 4.5" of backspacing, which moves the wheels about 1" closer to the truck, meaning their offset is -1 inch.

UNLESS I have the sign wrong on the offset number. If I do, someone correct me, please!

 

oops, I forgot about that. Here's a picture for everyone to appreciate!

 

No, the 1" offset is positive because having a negative offset on imports is uber cool...lol

 

Thanks for the info guys, one more question, if im looking at getting 16x8 rims, what offset should I look to get?

 

The backspacing dimension is taken from a different location than the width dimension.

Ranger wheels are 7" inside where the tire mounts but are about 8" outside of the wheel lips. That means that a nominal 7" wheel with zero offset has a backspace of 4".

The vast majority of factory Ranger wheels have a nominal width of 7" and a BS of 4.5" making the the offset about +1/2", usually approximated as +12mm.

 

well, he beat us all...lol.

 

Would this be the same pattern/spacing for an 02 4x4 xlt?

 

Yes, for both 15" and 16" factory wheels.

 

Thanx

 

honistly DO NOT get 16's all rangers can fit aftermarcket 15's and the wheel price and TIRE price will be so much cheaper get like a 15x8 with 3.73" or 3.25" or 4" BackSpacing

 

Bob rules. I make him picture.

 

 

I am looking at a used set of MKW 110 wheels. They are 15x6.5 with a +38 mm offset and 73 mm center bore. Will these fit my 99?
