Just put 2002 Mustang gt wheels on my 1995 Ford Ranger Splash

Welcome! Good looking stepside.

Thank you

Welcome neighbor. Personally not a fan of the wheels, but as long as you like them well done. Maybe if you can get a Ford center piece instead of the Mustang it would look better in my opinion.

Yes I agree with you! Would you happen to know if that is even Possible?
TIA

welcome!! i think if you lowered that truck and put some larger sway bars, those wheels would be perfect. the shorter sidewall leaves a bit of gap, rightn ow.

what are your plans?

 

[HWJ2675]

Definitely planning on lowering! Just trying to find what's the best way for a factory ride. Any suggestions? Possibly swapped with 302 n t5 later

i have no idea. my 05 has the torsion bar front suspension and its very hard to lower so i am jsut leaving it. does h&r or eibach make anything for the ranger? those are the main brands i use on cars when doing suspension stuff. than its koni or bilstein shocks/struts.

if you don;t have a rear sway bar, get one from the junkyard and you will feel an immediate improvement

 

[HWJ2675]

This truck actually has a sway bar in the rear I assume because of being the splash edition. I've looked at several different kits and I'm just undecided

 

[superj]

yeah, that is how mine is because mine is an edge.

h&r or eibach are both really good, if you are looking at those. i try to go as low as possible so (and i don't know if this is possible since mine is torsion bar) if the front springs sit on a strut, instead of on a spring perch attached to the control arm, maybe you can also shorten the strut housing for an additional inch or two or lowering? thats how i have done some bmws for racing, in the past.

It's possible. I had a set of mustang bullet wheels on my Sport Trac. They had the fordh center caps. I actually picked them up at a swap meet during the NMRA event in Bowling Green KY.

 

[HWJ2675]

Awesome! I'll give it a look and see what I can find
