wthayer Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 does anyone know if factory wheels from a ford ranger will fit a 1988 mj 2wd? I'm looking at the aluminum 10 hole rims. i know the bolt pattern is the same but i don't know if the center hole will fit. i tried to put the rims on a 1990 dakota and they would not fit because of the center hole. I'm not sure if the jeeps have the same problem. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to fit Dakota rims on the mj. die-grinded the crap outta the centre till it fit over the dustcap/rotor lip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 My friend in PA is running Ranger alloys on a 4WD MJ. Dunno if he had to enlarge the center holes or not. Backspacing is less than factory MJ, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I just measured the center holes of my spare set of stock Eliminator wheels (10 hole) and they are ~59mm (2.32 in). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comancheon33 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I rana set of ranger alloys on an XJ awhile back. Bolted right on no mods required. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 YES, The Ranger rims will interchange with Jeep rims. They have the same 5 X4.5 hole spacing. There is an issue with Hubconsentric vs Lugconsentric. But most people do not have any problems. I am not positive of all Ford rims, BUT the steel version has 3.75" of BS. A nice CHEAP way to get a bigger tire under a jeep!!! I'll bet the aluminimum version is about the same. I mean if they make one this way it must be needed for some reason right?? Here is some pics of a guy in my club. ALL, his Jeeps have Ford rims on them!! CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbhill Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 just so yall know, the 83-88 rangers have a weee bit smaller hub thant hte later model rangers(89 up) i TRIED to put some of my old ranger spares on my MJ when i sold the stockers, but they didnt quite fit on there.... i had an old ford explorer spare(91 up) and it went right over the hubs.
