How wide r your 20's?

20x8.5" , offset is 0 which is too much so they rub the fenders....the fender lips are being but away to make clearance.

 

[svtcards]

So your rubbing front and rear?or just the front?

 

[svtcards]

I have same width on my 1st gen ranger with a +20 offset they don't rub but mines not at low as yours
If it was it would rub also

front and rear rubbed and had to cut to fit. I do like a lip on my wheels, I dont care for a FWD flat faced look personally so it was worth it to me.

Does anyone know what wheels these are? The center cap looks like it says "Ford" but I'm not sure if these are Ford rims...

They are Ford rims, but were more common on the Mazda B-series

They look like mazda rims to me, from the era of when they were the same as a ranger except for bedside body panels, grille, (maybe?) hood and wheels. Funny how the mazda version of a ranger is more $. Same driveline, most of the parts the same.

I’ve got the same size tire on oem 15x7 wheels without any problems on my 1998 ranger stepside.

Heres a oddball tire/rim combination. Stock 2wd 1994 ranger longbed with
2006 steel wheels from a chevy hhr, 16x7 with 215/60/16 summito ice edge tires. 1.654 offset (42 mm) with 1” thick bolt pattern adaptor (110mm to 4-1/2) and 3/8” additional spacer (-in the 4-1/2 pattern) for a total thickness of 1.375” or 34.9 mm. So my adapter and spacer almost equals the rim offset.
Why? you may ask, Well my winter wheels on the ranger are 2009 bridgestones, while a excellent tire and theres plenty of tread left, the ageing of the rubber has caused them to just not be “grippy” like they should be, on wet pavement they will spin like im on ice, My winter beater hhr had 2 year old snow tires on a extra set of stock hhr rims. Rather than buy new tires for the truck or get new 16” rims that would fit the ranger I found adapters on amazon that would allow me to use the gm wheels on the ranger, and for only about $300 for everything I needed vs whatever new tires or rims would of been, Id guess over $400 either way. Yes they are smaller than either size Id normally run (235/75/15 or 225/70/15) and slightly smaller than the stock size my truck originally came with (225/70/14). I also originally had 3.45 gears, I now have 4.10 This current combination has me running about 2400 rpm @55 mph. The ride is a little more rough with it being a lower profile tire, Ive only had them on a few days, I think they will be pretty good in the snow, at least I wont care what the road salt does to these rims.
