If it ain't broke, break it.
Not without spacers.

Is 1” enough? Or is bigger required for the rear

Doing things wrong, until I get it right.
IIRC the front hubs of the Ranger poke out further than a Mustang's. Every Ranger I see with Mustang wheels either have spacers or no center cap on the fronts, to let the hubs poke out.

Are spacers required on the rear? I’m looking for something that fills up the wheel wells. The truck is being lowered
Probably. Compare the backspacing on your current rims to the Mustang rims.

My current rims are the stock 15”, so there’s room to spare on both sides

I have them on my ‘06. Rears fix without spacers (but need spacers too look right) The front needed at a minimum a 1/4” spacer to allow the hub to fit. I’m still working on the final spacers sizes needed.

That’s a good looking truck! did it requite longer studs, or did it come on the spacers?

Stock studs. I running a 1/4” spacer. Tire would still touch the sway bar at full lock. I lowered it yesterday so I have some tweaks to do and a set of 2015 19” Track Pack wheels to put on.
