Your new wheels look great. They go well with your ram air hood. The roll pan gives the back of the truck a cleaner look. It might. look cool to have your exhaust coming out of the roller pan kind of like the old Mustang GT and Mach 1.
Nice work !

Hawtness! Good choice for the diameter and staggering sizes, offset, etc.

I see way too many people in my neck of the woods that bolt on any old wheels that have the same bolt pattern, but they look incredibly ridiculous because the tire is either way too low profile, and it drops the gearing by a stupid amount, or the offset/backspacing is way wrong for the vehicle, and they stick out way past the bodywork and look goofy.

It appears you did your homework, and they sit perfectly with the lines of the truck. Bravo.

That happens in Canada too? I thought it was just a redneck bum thing. I laugh at every one I see. The vehicles are usually rattle-canned (very badly) with the same colors as whoever won the last NASCAR race too.

Personally I'm not a fan of the 89-92 Ranger because of the frontend, BUT, that's the SWEETEST one I've seen yet!

NICE choice of wheels & tires! Bet their pricey?

KUDOS!!!

My credo
Doing things wrong, until I get it right.
Curious as to what seats those are. Cant tell if they're buckets from a Ranger or Escape?
EDIT: never mind, a second look and I saw they are the 60/40's
