108mm center bore spacer??

[litalien26]

I need a small spacer...between 6 and 10mm to clear the front galiper....but the parts shop near by only have one with 108mm center bore... and the other option is to order ones from Australia that will take 2-3 months to arrive...
My question : do i need wheel hub center ring? Or with 6x139,7 bolt pattern it's unnecessary...

HI Carl,

The Ranger was designed with hubcetric wheels...You need to maintain this with centering rings or risk vibrations or balance issues. This is evident from many posts about aftermarket wheels cause problems that many Forum members blame incorrectly on Ford.

Thanks for the precision.
Guess i will keep it that way (with the lip of the caliper slightly buff.... I already have wheels with 100mm center bore with a wheel hub centric ring to 93.1mm...so by adding the small spacer with another ring... I think that's too much small parts for my taste in the wheels area...

So I did not install this on my RTR wheels, but I have not encountered any vibration problems.

So I see sometimes someone refer that (method or icon?) makes a ranger specific wheel - does that mean this company makes the only hubcentric wheel without a spacer?

Hi Jack,

I have no idea on your wheels...I am not interested in changing out wheels so do not know the specifics of any aftermarket wheel. but it is possible they are hubcentric for Ranger or as they say...every once in a while even a blind squirrel finds a nut.
