Wheel and tire swaps

[Myles Cyncora]

Hey I am wondering what other ford vehicle wheels and tires will DIRECTLY bolt on to stock 2008 Ranger hubs? I have tired to look through the threads couldn't find exactly what I'm wondering. What year ranges and models should I be looking for preferably new enough to have TPM sensors.

Any 15" or 16" Ranger or Explorer or Mountaineer wheel.
Any Crown Vic wheel.
Some Mustang wheels will fit, some will require spacers.
You didn't say if you have a 4x4 or 4x2, there are issues with some wheels fitting over the 4x4 front hub.

My Ranger is 4x4

Not al 15 inch wheels will fit... maybe even some 16 inch. Ford went to 12 inch rotors I believe in 2002 and some wheels would have enough clearance for the caliper.

Example of 15 inch wheels... one is a bell shape while the other has a step. The one with the step will clear the rotor... the other not so much.

Did you repaint this wheel?

powder coated, it was stripped to bare metal and glass blasted first.
the silver one was stripped, then only the bead sections were blasted.
it's still uncoated bare metal.
