Welcome Visitor! Please take a few seconds and 
picked up a pair of Cragar 342-5812P "D" black steel wheels today.
15 x 8, 6mm offset, 4-3/4 backspace.
those specs correctly match the factory offset for a larger tire. 31-10.5-15
Problem: won't fit over the 12" rotors up front. (its a 2000 4x4 with 2004 knuckles)
the barrel part hits the calipers.
Question: has anybody put Cragar steel wheels, 15 x 8 with -13mm offset/4" backspace on a ranger with the 12" rotors???
it looks like the 4" backspace should fit, but it's close and I want to be certain before I take these back.
Cragar shows the fitment as Rangers up to '08, plus 01-05 sport tracks for both wheels.

Update, picked up the wheels with 4" backspace/-13mm offset. they fit, kinda close at the caliper but they do fit.
its not exactly the backspace that fixed the issue. the barrel of the wheel has a step-down section that caused the caliper to contact the wheel. less backspacing moved the wheel out to clear the caliper. leaving the backspace the same and modifying the step-down outwards would have also cleared the caliper, but Cragar didn't do that.
