i was thinking of putting on the lightning rims there 5 lug (thats fine) and 18x9.5. would thay work with my 2x4 ranger i whant to keep it as clouse to the stock hight as possable. i'm thinking with low profile tires.

tell me what yall think

Even though they're 5 lug the lug pattern isn't the same size.

you have a 5 x 4.5 pattern, the F-150 has a 5 x 5 pattern. There are those adapters, that along with giving you a spacer, but can also change the pattern. But I don't remember where I saw them, some mag I think.

yup

oh that sucks:mad: but i guss it will save me $ in the end

On a related note:
There is a company called "Performance Wheel Outlet" which runs ad's in the Truck and Mustang mags. They had an aftermarket Lightning "knockoff" wheel advertised to fit "F-150 / Expedition / Ranger" They have since retracted the Ranger application from their latest ad. Oh well it was a nice fantasy while it lasted.

Performance Wheel Outlet does however make the Harley wheel to fit rangers!! Just some info.

i think that was the same rim i was thinking about.:cussing:

what does this Harley weel look like? does any one have any pics?

I actually like the 99'-00' Lightning wheel better, but here's the Harley F-150 wheel.

oh! the Harley weel. i forgot about that truck.

IMA.CA is right about the lug pattern being wrong but he is actualy wrong about the F150 lug pattern. The 5x5 is the pre 97 F150s the 97 up is 5x135mm.

eather way thow it still will not fit

Did some checking today. There are some adapters to make the lighting wheels fit. They are 65 a piece. I'll have to get the email address tomorrow as it is at work. Sorry. Anyway, but there is hope......:) :) :beer:

did anyone ever find out who makes the adapater or maybe even a website. I'd like to get some lightning rims on my 2000 ranger.

contact Fred @ wheeladapters.com . He can make them for ya.

I love the 99-00 L rims and wish they hadn't changed the style for 2001. The 99-00s are waaay better looking IMO.

And wouldn't a 9.5" rim on a lug pattern adapter on a Ranger stick out really far?

while f-150 rims might not work, all mustangs have the 5 on 4.5" pattern. SVT makes some nice wheels for their cobras that would look pretty good on a ranger

but some of the rims for the mustangs won't fit up front on newer(98+) Rangers w/o an adapter. they do look good though. :nuts:

Holy Crap!

I just went onto Kar Kraft (http://www.karkraft.com/wheels_tires_18.htm) and they got 99 Lightning's in chrome for $295.00 each!

Wow, that is a good price im sure! :E

have your checked out these two places yet?
www.capatalwheels.com
They clame to have the bolt pattern for the ranger, and rim size is 18x9.5.

The second place doesen't have a web page but they do have a phone number.
(626) 857-7279
this place might have the same bolt pattren an the rangerbut not sure, and they offer and 20x9 rim.

Both places don't have the newest lighting rims yet:(

that link doesn't work

I think it is www.capitalwheels.com. Not sure though as I couldn't find anything on there. Although I didn't look very good.:rolleyes: :nuts: :)
