Jeep Rims on B4000?

[akoutdoors]

I'm thinking of buying some wheels and tires off a jeep. They have 31 10.5 15 tires.
I have questions.
1. Will the backspacing work?
2. Will they rub if I use 2" coil spacers? I have a 1995 2wdB4000.
3. Is $380 a good deal for like new uniroyal liberators on good condition "centerline" 12 hole wheels?

Thanks

Does ANYBODY know the answer to this?

Will these wheels fit without rubbing?

Anybody know if 5x8 Jeep wheels with 4" backspacing in 31x10.5R15s will fit on my 2wd B4000?
Will I need coil spacers? Wheel spacers?
Please help.

Usually jeep rims and ranger rims interchange just fine.

yes, they are out there. but for one thing, you need to give it some time. you only gave about 12 hours before you bumped twice and started a second thread. This is a big site, it takes a while for questions to get answered sometimes.

this is a question that is asked a LOT, even though there are "tire fitment" threads and I believe an article in the Tech Library about this very subject.

your 95 mazda is a 95 ranger as far as tire fitment/lift is concerned.

At the top of your page is a search feature. you will get a quicker answer by using that for a question that is asked as much as this.


if the size is as listed, and the bolt pattern matches up, the rims should physically fit. i think the 4wd guys sometimes have issues with the hole from the hub fitting, but it should be fine on a 2wd.

you might need a little lift to fit the tires. the added width of the tires/rims may rub on the edges of the fenders.

you are also leaving out some info:

-What did these rims come off of? I can think of 5 different bolt patterns that Jeep has used over the years

-are they stock or aftermarket rims? I believe stock wrangler rims have more than 4" bs

-are you absolutely sure about the 4" BS? (you added this to your other, newer thread, but left it out of this one)


your best bet is to try and get ahold of one of the rims and throw it on.

Tony, thanks for taking time to answer. I did a few searches, as well as read the wheel fitment, and tire size guides in the tech forum. I wouldn't be in a hurry except I don't want this deal to get away if the wheels will fit. The problem is they are in Tulsa and I rather not make the drive to find out they won't work.
I've sent a couple PMs to members with similar set ups, but haven't heard back yet. The cat with the wheels is holding them for me for today only.

The wheels are 5x4.5 bolt pattern. I had the guy send pics of the back spacing but he didn't lay anything across the rim so I don't have a reference to measure to. He says 4"... I doubt him a little. That is why I asked about spacers.

It looks like, if they are more than 4" backspace, I'll need a bigger lift, or I'll need to trim my fenders. I don't think i want to do either. It's a 2wd for pete's sake.

If the offset is less than 19mm, I'd have to buy spacers too.

I guess I'll just hang out until I get more info.

If it'll help>>>

I've got Jeep Canyon 15X8 wheels on my 2wd STREET Ranger w/235/70's on front and 275/60's (that's a 28" tire) on rear, no lift kit, actually lowered in rear via Explorer 8.8 rearend, and I don't rub...............

Hope that helps ya a little!

Those look great on that truck. I think the Jeep wheels would have fit on mine as well. The seller of them got a little testy with me because I asked him for a second picture to gauge the backspacing so I bid him "good day"/ Then I saw some factory steelies ad thought I could work with them.
They needed 1/2 wheel spacers because my dust caps hit the inside of the center caps. I figured spacers were better than trying to modify the center caps. I threw some primer and paint on them. What do you guys think of the transition?
Bone stock suspension. 1/2 inch wheel spacers to clear center caps. 30x10.5R15's on 1999 Cherokee stock steelies. Mazda B4000 2WD

looks good man it definatley filled in the wheel wells. this must be the week for black wheels, i just did my girlfriends sport trac in black.http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55960

Oh yeah. She's looking sweet. I actually thought of using a little bit of fluorescent orange or green to set of my centers. I like the pink. No way it's going on mine...but it looks good on hers.

I have a 94 Ranger 2wd with the finned alloy wheels from a cherokee/comanche from the mid 80's -90's that are running 31x 10.50/15 LTs & even with explorer coils & 2" coil spacers the tires still rub on the frame during tight turns due to the wheel offset, my next step is to buy 2" wheel spacers for frame clearance plus in the future i Plan to be running 33x10.50 BFG's, Plus once I locate me a 2.3 5spd 4Wd tranny I'll have all parts to convert to 4WD
