rim help

[nosam420]

i was told by a friend that stock rims from a jeep wrangler would fit onto my 1988 ford ranger? is he right?

If your Ranger is 2WD, yes. If it's of the 4WD nature, no. Reason being, your locking hub assembly will not fit through.... unless these wheels are aftermarket or are modified.

well if you like down home country modification, then youll love what ive got on my truck. they are stock ranger rims, but before i had the truck, it was owned by my uncle, and well, when he put the rims on the front ones didnt fit over the hubs, so they just threw the grinder to it and they slipped right on. is that a safe thing to do?

im kind of a cheap ass college student and i really need new tires, and if i keep seeing brand new perfect sets of wrangler tires for $200 im gona just jump on it.....

why not just have the tires put on your wheels?

because all the tires that im finding are 16'' or bigger,, my rims are only 15, and that sucks,,,, im tryin to clean up the look a little bit, ive already got my paint job lined up for the end of this month, and now im just workin on gettin some new tires, i need em BAD.....

Then I guess the ones you have are modified. If it works, who's to complain.

Mind you this is just my two cents. I thank rimes from a chreeoke will fit. I noticed a set of them on a 4x4 B2 and they seemed fine. I know the subects who owned the B2 not personally but only through work and they were water heads so I dont thank they would grind the rims out.

alright thanks guys,,, the next time i see a set of em for 200 im gona jump on it... i should be gettin some pics of my ride up here in the next couple weeks, been too busy with school to get out and take some...

Jeep Canyon rims

I have a chance to buy a set of Jeep Canyon rims for my 4X2 ranger edge. What I'm wondering is will the front hub show through the center hole?? You mentioned that your uncle had to grind out the hole was that in the back and how much did he have to grind??

 

[nosam420]

only had to grind out a little bit... they where pretty snug when i put them on so i took a little bit more off... u just kinda have to wing it a bit,,, it shouldnt take too much though...
