I have stock turbine wheels from a crown Vic I’m wondering about the hubs and if they will run or not if I put them on my 83 ranger.
 
I run a set of those on my 88 with no issues.

I think there were a couple different versions... so I can't vouch for all of them. A picture of what you have would be helpful...

They’re just like these wheels just I gotta clean mine up but I don’t want to if I can’t use them. So I added a picture of a nicer set and one of mine. Thank you for the response.

They look just like the wheels I used.

I cleaned them up... painted the whatever to match the truck... then polished the fins. They looked pretty good...
 
Should work fine. Unless backspacing is an issue. Bolt patterns are the same

They don’t rub or anything? And they fit the hub nicely?

I did my V8 swap back in the mid 90's... so it's been awhile.

The only way to be sure... go put them on the front and rear and see if you like it.
 
I will have to grab some extra tires and mount them and see

Sounds like a lot of effort for something that could be figured out with a tape measure..

Just try test fitting them without tires first and compare how they fit compared to the rims you already have on the truck. That should give you a pretty good idea how they sit and if there will be any issues.
 
I have some 94 mercury? rims on my 91 4x4. Fit fine.

I'd pull a front wheel. Test fit over the hub and compare backspacing while it's off. Might just be my imagination, but the D28 hubs seemed smaller so more forgiving of smaller center bores.
