SUSPENSION n00b
RIMS (again)
What is the difference between an aftermarket 5 lug 5 x 114.3 for a truck, and a car? I assume the backspacing, center hole, etc? I was just curious b/c I found a set for my Ranger and it says for a car, has the same pattern on everything. I dunno.
2001 MTX: Chrome Altezzas, F1 Stage 3 Racing Clutch, DZ's w/ S/R Struts, Short Ram intake, 4-2-1 header, Type RS muffler, and a blue LED shiftknob.
Coming soon: Full 2.5" Trubendz and UDP.
Woof!
Yeah, backspacing could be one difference and the truck wheels are probably wider.

what are you taking it off of and putting it on to? I know with mustangs and rangers, 2wd or 4wd they all will work and fit, same with s-10's and camaros, depending on the size will fit well some will rub when turning from being too wide

^ Ditto. Some aren't worth the trouble.
I am thinkiing about picking up the 5-spoke Mustang GT rims for my Ranger and having them powdercoated white. I am going to drop it 2"F:3"R. I think 16" white 5 spokes on a lowered Blacked-out Ranger would be sweet as hell.

2nd gen GT rims will fit, NOT 1st gen GT's (86-90).

what are the notice able differences between the 1st and 2nd? idk if it was 1st gen or 2nd
bolt pattern is different. The newer styles will have the bolt pattern marked on the inside of the rim. Check this when in doubt. If it doesn't have the size, don't even bother with it as there are a lot of different rims that will work instead.
My car maybe ATX, but atleast its turbo
those wheels should fit and look good on a ranger. i say get them
