What size are you running know ?.
If 15's 17's should go on wihout to much trouble. As long as you dont go to fat of a tire.
What do you other Ranger's think.?

i currently have some 60 series 14 (they were on it when i bought it) looks like there should be enough room but im worried about rubbing when i turn

I dont think you will have a rubbing problem when you turn if you dont know. But you can't go 50's. Stick with 60's,65's, or 70's.
But still check around.

they should fit but you may need spacers in the front, and you won't be able to use the lug cap covers..
www.rangerpowersports.com/forum a lot of the guys over there are running the mustang wheels on there ranger a lot of them will be able to help you out.
