16" rims for 2001 4X4 ranger

[TJS1011]

I've acquired 4 new cooper discoverers 225 70R 16 for $50 apiece and would like to put them on my 01 4door 4X4 ranger and I'm having an issue finding wheels, any suggestion? My problem is backspace and offset, don't know what they should be for a 16" rim. I'm looking at these but not sure if they'll fit. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/vsw-85h6765ns#overview

The stock wheels typically have a 4.5 inch backspace. So the above mentioned wheels at 4 inch backspace will push the wheels outward .5 inch per side. Those are also 7 inches wide which is the factory 16 inch wheel width.

Those are very close to a 16 inch factory wheel. So I would say they will fit fine.

Thanks for your help, so no issues hitting the caliper?

I don't believe so. Caliper interference is usually a 15 inch wheel on later model truck issue. Some 15's clear and others won't. Never heard of any problems with 16's with factory or less backspace.

Thanks again, I'm most likely buying those wheels, I'll let you know if there are any fitment issues. Summit says they won't fit because Ford says 15" for my truck, so I'm just being careful.
