94-96 cobra wheels.

[white99ranger]

i have a 1999 ranger. this wheel is a 17x8 cobra wheel 94-96 i believe. will this fit directly or will i need anything like spacers etc etc. thanks

They are a direct fit.

FYI: They are 96-97 Cobra wheels. 94-95 are the same style, but didnt have the charcoal gray in the "windows".

Let me look, I may have a spare 96-97. I know I have a few 94-95's, 99's, 03-04's Cobras, just not sure on that one.

I don't have the wheels with me currently, but are there numbers on the back of the rim that i can use to match up exactly. I've been looking and just noticed there are a couple different styles that look similar to mine.

what size tire is best to run on that size wheel?

 

[Snoranger]

I dont have a 96-97 wheel, sorry.


As far as tire size, I ran 245/45ZR17s on my '99 Cobra wheels on my Ranger and the '94 cobras on my, well, '94 Cobra. I think that was stock.

245 45 on front and 275 40's on back and you set to go

 

[white99ranger]

My stock size is 205/75/14. I put some d window steel wheels on it a while back and noticed that it was much harder to turn the wheel than with the skinny tires. Running 235/60/15 currently. If I run that much wider will I have the same effect or will it be different since most of the tire is under the truck vs my current ones that stick out slightly?

 

[Snoranger]

I had 275/40s for a while. Wasnt happy with them. The sidewall bulged a little too much. When you really threw the car into a corner you could feel the sidewall flex. You prob wont feel it on a Ranger, but you could feel it in the Cobra.

I don't know if I can turn this into a WTB now but I need one 96-97 cobra wheel like in the first post. If anyone has one for sale, please pm me.

You will probably have better luck in the WTB section, try craigslist too.

I have seen those cheap "sets of three" rim deals... I have always thought it would be hard to turn up a loose one, I can't see anybody breaking up a set.

got them at a junk yard. the 4th wheel was bent to hell. I'll try WTB! thanks
