F150 wheels on a Ranger?

[linuxman]

I wound up just finding some blackout ranger wheels on facebook market with new tires. I did learn in my studies that the default non offroad wheel on the broncos are the exact same pattern and offset as the ranger wheels. Not the sport version it has 5 lug but the 6 lug variety of wheels are the same exact offset and I think the standard mostly are the black with milled outlines.

Very interesting! That adds alot of options.

And if you look on facebook market, a zillion bronco people are pulling off their factory wheels and putting them on sale. The only down is that the tires are slightly smaller than the ranger tires so you'd be a little off on the speedo but the wheels are dead on. That milled black wheel is a great looking wheel and only comes on upper tier 4wd packages on the ranger. It has a bronco center emblem but that can be swapped to a ford one easy or just black it out on your own. Rangers do ride broken broncos lol.

My favorite are the 18 and up 17" wheels that come on f150s. Might have to buy a set.

Read through my posts. You will need an adapter and may have rubbing issues with stick F150 tires.
I would love to see someone else try this mod! I was very pleased with how it turned out.

When the stockers wear out I might try it. The lower end 2wd 17s are much smaller diameter tires than the 20s. Much narrower as well, 245 section width I believe. I bought a set of new take offs for my last f150 for 450 shipped to my door.

That's been my thought process all along. If you like the style of an F150 wheel then these adapters really open up your available options for fitment.

I hate the idea of adaptors and would never use them but would love the option of some of the F150 wheels (even the 20's). I wonder if there is any way to change the bolt pattern? Front hubs should not be hard, but probably need rear axles redrilled. I also wonder why Ford does not use the same bolt pattern, I would think it could reduve costs...


OP those look great BTW, why are you selling them?

Tried out the new adapters and wheels today. Had some serious rubbing issues!
This was just a trial run before I swap the tires and install the lowering kit. Wanted to see if the TPMS sensors would work correctly and check fitment of the adapters. The sensors worked fine so that is a win.
The Bora adapters worked perfectly! I used my stock lug nuts to hold the adapter in place and the supplied open style lug nuts to hold the wheels. I will order a set of F150 lugs when I decide whether I want to powder coat the wheels, may go with black.
As you can see in the pics the offset is kinda wide but I think it will be better with a narrower tire. The stock F150 tires are 275/55/20. I plan to go with 265/50/20. I am thinking that the shorter, narrower tire will not have rubbing issues especially when I lower the front and get the tires up into the wheel well opening and away from the crash bars. The F150 tires are approximately 31.5" tall and the Ranger tires are closer to 30"
So this shows that it can be done and I think this would be a cool setup for a 4wd truck looking to get a wider stance.
I will update when I get my lowering kit installed and smaller tires on the rims.

Expedition wheels

details please

 

[Jdun3210]

details please

2.5” level kit , wheel adapters was told ranger pattern is same as Chevy . Don’t understand why Ford wouldn’t just go with their 6 lug pattern . Tires are just what I was running on Expedition 305/50/20 Nitto 420V . They do rub frame at full turn . Will probably downsize when new tires needed .

Yeah more work than I want to do

but they did catch my eye

thanks
