We all know the Ranger rear axle track is narrower than the front by about 1.5"

It's even more noticable with the "fender flares" on the Sport.

For those of who are running wheel spacers, are any of you running different sizes front and rear?

If you are, what sizes? Have you run into any issues?

Pros, cons, thoughts, etc?
 
Mods - Thanks for moving this. I appreciate it.
 
I have been running wheel spacers on my 20 practically since new. 1.5" all the way around. I know that won't help your offset questions. I do check the torque at every tire rotation. Which i do with the 5k oil changes. I also ran 2" spacers on my 05 so I could clear some Mustang Bullet wheels. It was 2wd drive and only tooled around town. I've beat on the 20 pretty hard. Neither have yet to or ever gave me any issues. I would suggest buying hub centric and not lug centric spacers. And always, always check the torque and inspect during tire rotation.
