a1awind Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 yea ? nay? they are ranger fx4 level II alcoas. they kinda fit (there is a lip where the hub comes through that needs ground down.)
Dadinator Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 I like them. I'm guessing Alcoa from a Ranger FX4?
NHMJXJ Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 The look is personal preference. Looks better than steelies for sure! Finding a nice wheel to fit the 2wd MJ's can be a tough. Near impossible to find a wheel with a hub bore ID big enough to accomodate the lip on the hub and the dust cover over the end of the axel. Then when you do find one, the offset pushes the wheel waayyyy outside the flare. The 10 hole Eliminator wheel has a big enough hub bore, but they're only 6 or 7".

dave92cherokee Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 For the quad cab the front end is a 2wd beam axle from the 93 that was used and I got a set of the cragar soft 8's in chrome with the center caps. The fit over it without any problems on the front and rear 44.
Dadinator Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Doh! Never read past the yay, nay. :doh: I had a ranger fx4 so when I saw them, knew what they were. Must be an echo. :yes:
a1awind Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 i went ahead and pulled the trigger. i had my buddy take the 31's off. its a shame....they had nice tread on the outer tread but the middle was smooth as a babys @$$. but they are 15x7 so i guess my tires will fit for now.... once i go 4x4 ill get some big meats.
Dadinator Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 the 15X7 is why I pulled them off of my Ranger when I had it and installed some Eagle 15X8's. A peak of my old Ranger. Don't have it anymore:
a1awind Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 I wish I could use the shifters out of the junked fx4. Its a manual and if you are familiar with what the fx4 specific shifter looked like...it would look pretty cool

Dadinator Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Yes, mine was the manual. Liked the shifter combo a bunch. Only available of the FX4 Level II. Very Rare indeed.
