Anyone try to fit these on a Ranger? When I called Spidertrax, they told me that it(the Jeep spacer) would NOT fit a ranger. So I emailed them, and asked what the diameter of the hole is for the hub. They tell me it's 2.80 inches. By my crude measurements(Haven't removed a wheel yet), it looks like it should fit.

So does anyone know for sure?
 
on my 99 i had to machine the hole out a little for my factory hubs and then a little more when i put my AVM hubs on. I can tell you one thing my wheel bearing hate the spacers

The wheel's I'm running, I think are offset improperly for a Ranger. They came off a Jeep, and hit the tie rod end a bit. So I think I need to push them out more to get them properly offset for the Ranger. Haven't done any measurements on them though to check offset/backspacing.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong here...

I just went out and measured the wheels I'm using. It's a 15x7 steel wheel, with a backspace of ~4.75-5.00 inches. And the tech library tells me I want a backspace of about 3.75 inches for a Ranger. So if I put in a space of 1.00-1.25 inches, I should be dead on where I need to be for this truck, yes?
 
When my son put the factory mags from my explder on his jeep we had to ream out the centre hole a little. However Jeep factory mags will not fit the front of the fords as the hubs will not pass through the outer part of the mag wheel. that being said the spacers should fit. Hope that makes sense.
