[19Bluecrew]

Nearly five month wait due to the shipping backlog. These are Rays wheels from Japan. 18x8 +38 offset 19.6lbs. General Grabber UHP 255/55r18.
Combined weight 50.8lbs vs 58lbs stock with 10,000 miles tread wear.
As you can see, this is strictly a street truck. No overlanding for me.

I'm not usually big on the street truck look, but it just works with the Ranger.

Thank you for the kind words. ?
Just waiting for the angry flame throwing trolls to show up?

You are a master of distraction - talking about wheels and tires and Japan and stuff, knowing full well that people are looking at that old school Ranger trim level badge and wondering where they can get their own. The panel above my glove box suddenly looks bare. ?

Those emblems are the best thing ever. So happy I took a chance with them. https://www.cjponyparts.com/name-plate-bedside-ranger-f-100-1967-1969/p/EMBS10/?year=1968

Truck is beautiful. Love me some Rays from my Subaru days

Can I ask, what lowering kit/suspension mods are you running, and if its a 4x4, have you had an vibration issues? Really tempted to do a similar style but was hearing that 4x4 cant go over 70mph without issue lowered on Belltech as per their instructions.

Thanks in Advance!

Mine is rear wheel drive. Belltech flip kit and lowering struts. Had a small vibration during strong acceleration. Installed 2 degree shims which almost eliminated the vibration. I have some 3 degree shims I’m going try. No vibration other than during acceleration, even at 80+ highway cruising.

They all look amazing but 10,000 mile tread life on tires? All hell Naw.

I’m averaging 6,000 miles a year, and I’m pretty easy on my tires, so hopefully I’ll get three years out of these ?

Appreciate the insight, thanks! Did it come with a Center carrier bearing mod as well?

Hoping to find some 4x4 people with experience, doesn't seem to be many if any at all

i was also thinking damn that ranger emblem looks sharp, much more class than a decal.

normally im not a fan of black rims but that polished bright lip and the center cap make them look really classy! you have a good eye for customization. simple, clean but stylish.

Yes, the flip kit included a piece to alter the center carrier angle
