Hey guys! 



I found a good deal on these wheels but I need to know if they will fit the front of a 2wd truck. I have a 2009 coil sprung 2wd, I don't know if the hub bore on these guys is big enough?



Thanks in advance

But...............

The addition of a 1.00-1.25" Spacer does solve that issue as well push the tires nearer to the edge of the fender correcting the aesthetics too.. Just saying :coffee


Its what I had to do to clear mine with my 04-05 Explorer AWD 17" wheels currently being rocked

I think if those were 17" I like those better than mine tho. ALMOST remind me of the 2013-14 Ford Escape Titanium package only without the darker graphite/Anthracite color scheme going on.

I read on other sites they need to be machined to clear the hub so i passed on the deal.

Too bad because they look amazing IMO

The cost of spacers or machining would have been close to same cost factors and worth it IMO..

would these spacer sizes be required to put these wheels on a 92 2wd?

Yes... the spindles and hubs are or should be exactly the same setup.

83-97 are technically the same. However, on 93-97 a 1.00" - 1.25"  spacer is needed before you can put the center caps on the front most often. This is not a problem on a 1993+ Ranger since the fenders are wider.

On a 83-92 with 5/16" spacers in the front, the wheels are right at the edge of the fender.

A reminder though, 1998+ 4x4 Ranger will not fit the front of a 1983-1997 4x4 Ranger. The center hole is too small for the locking hub to pass through.

Yes sir.. We offer a full selection of not just spacers to help fit your wheels but we even have adapters for those stubborn instances, like when you find that wheel not available in a 5 x114.3 or 5 x 4.5" for your needs, or even 6 lug to 8 lug conversions.. etc
