wheel and rim
Welcome to the forum
30" overall diameter, i.e. 15" rim with 7.5" side wall tire would be 30" overall, 20" rim with 5" sidewall tire would be 30" over all
9" width
Rangers use a 5 x 4.5 lug bolt pattern
And need 4.5" back space, backspace is the distance on the back side of a rim center(where it touches the axle) to the edge of the rim where tire sits
Back space is needed for brakes, i.e. rotor and caliper, and drums
Also so the tire doesn't rub when turning the front wheel all the way to the left or right
