Well, I came to own my Ranger this time last year. Purchased second hand of course.

2004 Ford Ranger
4.0 Litre V6
2WD EDGE
31x10.5 Firestone A/Ts on stock 15x7 steel wheels

Photos with Canon EOS-20D and 50mm lens.

I added the hitch.

This is me trying to be artful with the shots.

Welcome to TRS~!

Nice truck...and not too bad on the artful side...

Im thinking about installing half inch spacers to widen the stance.. any input?

Im thinking about installing half inch spacers to widen the stance.. any input?

I would vote against that as some are marginal for quality... i would however opt for a front leveling, would give it a more off road stance, only requires a crank of the t-bars and an alignment,


If your looking for a wider stance a wider rim and different offset is a bit better IMO

I have got to agree with Ryan, other than that the truck and the pictures look fantastic.

I've had wheel spacers on my Mustang for over 10 years with no adverse effects. It gets beat too, no pansy driving here. The only suggestion I would give is make sure your lugnuts have stud on every thread with the spacers on. If you don't have that, stay away from them.

I don't think mine are quite 1/2 inch, I would guess they are somewhere around 3/8" and I have 1 thread left on the studs.

Like said above, stay away from spacer without the lug studs. The key word when you search spacers is 'hubcentric'. I ran a set of 1 1/4 inch spacers on my mustang and I dogged that car pretty well. Good one are billet aluminum that slideover your stude then bolt into place and have their own set of studs that the wheels bolt onto, so when you take off a wheel the spacer doesnt move, theres a couple companies in the back pages of Peterson Offroad magazine. Or get on some of the mustangsites and look for used spacers. Mustangheaven.com will give you a list of 100 mustang sites.
