Aftermarket Wheel Picture Thread

[arbjosh]

I get what you're trying to do, and it would be a useful thread -- I'll add my pics here when I have the Vector 6s on. I think all that most any of us are (or were) after when shopping wheels were pics and info on the wheel / tire combo, offset / backspacing info of the wheels, and how much lift (if any) was added for reference. Useful pics including how much the wheel / tire combo poked out past the fender flares and if the combo rubbed on anything were good, mainly so we'd know how much we were going to be spending later on related items..

Thanks for the support to those who understand. Here was my first attempt:

It started gaining traction but fell down the thread list as new "will this fit my ranger" threads started piling on. Check it out though, there is still some good info there. Directions moderately followed.

RTR is one of the few designs that look natural to me on the Ranger. There are a couple of Method/Icon designs I like as well, but most others don't work for me.

Prefer this one from Socal Garage Works,

LOL

My post was sarcasm because this thread devolved so fast and far.

With that said, You couldn't pay me enough to put that or the Sparco in my Ranger (or a Solstice )

I think this would be my first choice of after market wheel.

Sparco Suede biotches

I'll join in on posting. Trying to get my humor back.
Do you think this wheel would rub the legs when turning? Do you think a 6 inch spacer would bring it far enough away so that it doesn't rub?

Many years ago when I was being trained on a street sweeper, the instructor was real big @ 6'4", 375#-ish. They were dual driver set-up, and I had to tell him constantly to get his belly off the wheel so I could turn.

Thanks for the memory lol.

That's one of the good information and pic threads I looked through when I was searching. And you're right, a thread falls off, another thread starts, wash-rinse-repeat.

I could speak to tires and rims for days, I think their importance is often under-rated. My vehicle is designed for solo and secluded rough roads and trails. I don't care about mpg, or road characteristics on these tires and rims, just off-road capability and durability.

I have Duratrak LT 285/70-17, 10 ply because IMO they are the best off-road oriented in the ALL-Terrain category. KO2, Wildpeak, Open Country, Grapplers, Grabbers, etc all have their merits, but none perform better off-road, and that was my priority for these.

Rims... I limited my search to: Black 17x 7.5to8.5, 139.7 x 93.1 and +35 to +40. The options were very few, but I chose RWC 360 because they fit and look okay. Not the best looking rim, but specs are perfect, and that was more important.

All 6 are Ford TPMS and yesterday I rotated for the first time at 5,000 km. Good wear on the 4 used, now both spares are on for the first time, and all is well. Balance is good, both TPMS sensors kicked in.

My factory rims (black pack 18s) are as they came still with AT/M tires. I will rotate those rims on seasonally or as convenient. A good floor jack, and cordless impact makes it a 15 minute job to change all 4.
