Non-Ford Wheels That Would Work on Rangers

[embedded rock]

42mm is a curious number. Why not keep it simple with 5mm increments? (rhetorical) The 35mm seem to be a best seller, but if a 40mm were available, I'd suppose many would be sold. After all, it's only a number change for CAD/CAM wheels.

Intersting. Didn’t realize there was a Tremmor version here in the US.
Also like that the wheels are +42 not +55.
Found this set

Yes, I owned a '22 Ranger Tremor.

After looking at that listing and the pictures, I'm suspecting the seller has a misprint stating 42mm backspace. With the one picture of the inside of the wheel, near the top, the casting while not completely clear to me, appears to read "55."

No, real Ranger Tremor wheels are +42. There are some non-Tremor wheels that look similar that are 55.

I was very curious about that +42 offset Ford rim.
I just heard of a 42+ offset here in this thread.

The OP mentioned the Ranger Tremmor wheel was 42+ offset.

‘I wanted to know what that wheel looked like and googled it , found pics on eBay.

One of the listing I looked at the wheel looked very similar if not the same but said +55 Offset
+55 being the only Offset I had ever seen used on 6g Rangers.

I looked at a few others and found the listing I posted that stated +42 Offset.
The depth doesn’t look any different then the +55 offsets , being very flat faced or in some cases parts of the wheel structure (spokes) appears to be out past the outer wheel lip.

I am not sure what to think about the +42 offset, vs +55 offsets.
Is the +42 real?

If so. I suspect it’s from a 5G Ranger.
Seeing these in US EBay, and we don’t have a 6G Ranger Tremor here in the US.

Very curious to learn more details about a potential +42 offset Ranger Tremor wheel?

They were definitely on 5G Tremors. For one, we don't have a 6G Tremor.

I originally purchased a set of Ford Performance "rest of the world" Ranger Raptor wheels with 55 mm offset. After seeing others here that found they didn't have enough clearance from the UCA and knuckle for larger tires, I refused delivery and found a set of '21 - '23 Ranger Tremor wheels and tires with 42 mm offset for only $600. The extra clearance is great, pretty sure I can fit a 275/70/17 with no problems.

That's kind of what I'm looking for. I like the look of them, and if you watch you can sometimes find them pretty cheap.

So you didn't bother to look at the photo of these wheels? There's what looks like a "55" cast into the wheel shown in the photos. It's a point for potential buyers confirming wheels they think they are buying, not about being right about something.

No, I didn’t, and looking now I see what you’re saying. It does look like those say 55. I wasn’t ”trying to be right about something “ I was just saying Gen5 Ranger Tremors did indeed have +42 wheels.
