    Thinking ng new build may use a wheel similar to that. But probably can't be had as a factory offering in anything wide enough.

    Check out American muscle. They got loads of various mustang wheels on there. Might find one in a wider/different offset version.

    You don't want to pay twice as much for the rims as for the truck...but that doesn't give you much lee-way.

    Then I guess you're stuck with a stock size then. Those look good on that truck.

    That front bumper is terrible. I like the paint and trim though.

    Those clear corners look pretty sweet IMO.

    A set of Brembo wheels would look great on there...plus you'd have room for big brakes...

    Not much for front brake upgrades on these trucks. Well.....unless I swap a narrowed Vicky front under it.

    Nobody makes brackets to adapt bigger brakes to those Rangers?

    Dan - if calypso's wheels have the spinners they'd look sweet on there. 16x7 isn't too bad. Could you fit a 255 on that pretty easily?

    Id say you could Ron. An 8 inch wide wheel will take a 275 with minor crowning.

    calypso.........sent you a PM.

    On the 1990 truck I'm running 225/50's on a 94 or 95 GT wheel (16") but I'm not sure of the width. The fitment of them is just right and the width looks good. If I could stay with a 225/50 in front and a 245 or 255 rear would be nice. The new truck is going to be lowered some to make the fender well gap tighter.

    You should get the knock off cap too, that looks really good on the silver ranger.

    I think you are right..........but the V6 wheels are close enough that they'd still pull off the look.

    The spinners definitely complete the look - very sharp.
