We shall see how it goes, analysis paralysis on my part a bit but after reading and scouring through many of the you good folks, will put these on (17”/+30/8.5” wheels) with a set of Nokian 265/70 17’s.

Will post when done. Also planning a 1 1/2” level either before or shortly after.

Just finished getting the new wheels and tires installed. I will be doing a 1.5” level in a couple weeks.

I think it worked out not too bad. I’m pleased with the look and sizing. ??

Wheels & tires are: Replika (very similar to the Roush Bronco wheels but at a fraction cost) 17”x8.5” +30 and the Ford centre caps fit perfectly. The tires are the Nokian Outpost nAT’s 265/70 r17’s.

I dig the look. Can’t wait for the level and I still want a little rake for towing now and then.

cheers

Looks great! I was very curious to see these wheels on the truck. Seems like a really good look, good offset.

Please let us know how you like the Nokian, seems like good less popular option for an AT.

I definitely will let you know. I’ve heard lots of good things from people who have owned them and read many positive reviews. We shall see. Cheers

Looking really good. Maybe I missed it, but are the red tow hooks painted or a cover? They definitely add to the trucks appearance.

Thanks! They are a cover from Amazon and actually don’t mention the Ranger fitment but for $20 I gave them a try, trimmed up with a carpet knife (a little long by 3/8”) and used black zip ties behind the existing rubber protection piece to tightly hold on. I’m up in Canada but here’s the link; I’m sure the .com site has even more.

Wherever you found them, they look darn good. I'd seen those for sale for the Ranger Raptor before but not the standard trucks. I'm assuming they're probably the same things.

Thanks again, I took a bit of a flyer on these and found them sleuthing around. Link below. I really wanted Method wheels but after buying the truck I pulled the trigger as they are inexpensive and wanted something I could likely sell if I didn’t care for the poke etc. but they turned out nice. Longevity-wise we shall see.

Roush sells a wheel very similar to these for much more but slightly different specs (+25) so I’m thinking they’re likely made in the same plant but they can’t be exact (www.roushperformance.com) but who knows.

Are you in Canada? These wheels are awesome. Do you have a part number on the center caps?

Yes, up in the Midwest Canada (Winnipeg).. thanks on the wheels, I get plenty of looks and people asking me if they’re OEM lol. Even my son’s friends say not to do anything else the truck looks great lol.

the centre caps… they are OEM standard Ford centre caps. I bought on eBay because they were cheaper than the dealership around here. They also fit perfectly.. As below:
2015-2023 F-150 Truck Genuine Ford FL3Z-1130-L Black Wheel Center Caps Set of 4
Center caps are 2 5/8" in diameter. PLEASE READ LISTING

Hello, after driving for a few months with this setup I’m comfortable without flares as the tread is in line with the OEM Ford mud-flaps. The sidewall pops out a bit but overall nothing gets thrown up on the truck. That said, I’m not hitting rough back country trails etc. I know the previous version Rangers you could get from Ford Performance a slight flare that not too bulky that has the matching grey colour but so far nothing for the current Rangers. Cheers!
