Asking because, at the moment, I have limited information at hand. Will these tires and wheels fit on this 2003 Ranger 4x4 w/ 4.0L V6? Tires and wheels from an STX.
No, I don't know the tires and wheel size, as the truck is in Ohio and I'm in Virginia.

No, they are 6 hole(lug nuts) wheels, Rangers are 5 hole
Probably off a later model F150, STX, not Ranger STX

The tires themselves are 30.5" diameter so should fit fine, no rubbing, but you would need Ranger 17" rims/wheel to mount them on

265 65r17
265 is the width of a tire in millimeters
65 is the height/sidewall of tire in % of width, so in this case sidewall is 65% of width or 172mm
r is the type of tire, a Radial
17 is the inches of the wheel/rim diameter needed to mount the tire

Good read here on Ranger wheels: https://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/wheel_fitment.shtml

Thanks. So they appear to be 5 lug, 16x7, with center caps. Thanks. They are pretty pitted, so I wanted to swap with another stock rim. Tires are in good shape.

I poop in the furnace.
What rims are you trying to swap? You have a picture of new 17" 6 lug rims and a pic of a 2000's ranger which has 16" 5 lug rims. Neither of those things go together?

Look at the end of the Ranger wheel fitment in above link, it has pictures of all the stock Ranger wheels, your current ones are there

See what appeals to you, and came in 16x7 size so your tires can be swapped over

Explorer wheels are also shown and can be used on Rangers, but still need that 16x7 size so your tires can be swapped over

Your current wheels were used on 1998-2007 Rangers (16x7) so should be fairly easy to find at wrecking yards if you just need 1 or 2
But not ALL 1998-2007 Rangers had those wheels, lol, there were other options and sizes

The rims pics were from Facebook Marketplace. I don't even have the truck yet, just looking around
