Wheel Swap

[Sdude2008]

I am currently using 2003 spoked rims on my 1988 Ranger. I have the center caps but apparently I don't have the correct lugs. Can anyone tell me what size I need? Also I read something about clips for the caps? Where can I get the clips I need? The wheels look pretty lame with the dust caps poking through. Thanks!

What style of rim do you have? You might have to get the lug nuts for the year of truck they came off of. My F-150 has a two styles of hubcaps, one that is metal with the clip being part of it and the other style is plastic has 3 dark grey inserts that clip it onto the wheel, yours might be something similar or it may be completly different.

I would start at your local parts store and if they don't have them or get them you could go to a dealer, it probably won't be very cheap however.

I have the 7 spoke type http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2008-Ford-Ranger-Rims-and-Tires-Fits-all-years_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ66481QQihZ017QQitemZ270171489648QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW#ebayphotohosting

Same rims and caps but can't seem to pin down the lug size. Thanks.

Anyone?

Can anyone tell me how to attach the center caps to these rims? There seems to be no resources where I can find an answer to this seemingly simple question. I am ready to find a Ranger in a parking lot and pull a cap just to see. This is making me crazy. THANKS!

This is the lug that fits the cap, notice how the nut has a ring around it that holds the cap on. I just got new wheels and had them laying around. good luck.

Do these look like the right lugs?
