So I just put my snow wheels on my truck and something seems off. These are jeep rims with the screw on center cap that screws on from behind. the rear went on fine but the front center caps will got straighten up. They are crooked even though the wheel is on tight. Anyone know why this is doing this? Do I need a spacer for the front wheels? Also when I was doing a slow turn in the gravel the tires shook and the steering wheel shook. Has anyone ran into this issue and if so do they know how to fix it? Here is a picture of the rims.

So I just took the center caps off and put the rim back on and still shakey. Not sure why so if anyone knows a fix for this please let me know. Could I need spacers for this maybe?

the center hole is most likely to small for the Ranger

The center hole is actually bigger than my stock wheels. It fits fine. drives fine down the road. I had my truck going 65-70 on the highway and it was nice and smooth. haven't noticed any shaking today for some reason. truck must have gotten used to it or something.

there are some combinations where the mounting surface of the wheel doesn't match the disk. this only happens on wheels that have hollow areas on the mount surface, its too big and extends beyond the edge of the rotor's hat.
