- '99 Ranger 4.0 4x4
I'm really not up to par on offsets and things like that. In fact, I'm not even sure of the stock offset on my wheels. I think its 25mm, but I'm not sure. Can anyone help me on that? I have a '97 Sport 4x4.
Anyways, I'm looking at these wheels:
They are 17x9, 25mm offset, and I really like the look of them, and especially the price. I wanna know if they'll fit ok. I'm running the stock 255/70/16 now, and can get the identical diameter and overall size with a 255/65/17 tire. So I shoudln't run into any rubbing problems correct?
How well will that mounton the 9" wheel? 265/60/17 would put me slightly shorter than stock, but 275/60 would match it perfect. At that point though, I'm worried about rubbing. Would I need spacers to avoid rubbing or not? I want to have them set out further than stock anyway, but not much is offered in a 0mm offset, other than 15-16" and I'd like to run 17"
Any help is appreciated, as I don't know much about the offset of trucks, although I had 15" Eagle Alloys on my Ranger and it had the exact look I wanted with a 0mm, but I was running a 31x10.0 tire. My Ex won't be as offraod oriented.
