My dad's neighbor gave me some Cadillac CTS rims. They didnt come with center caps but have very good tread on them. I also have a picture of a license plate cover that I made. I know that the cover is probably borderline illegal, but I have passed cops on the side of the road and they havent said anything.

Wheels are 17 X 7.5 with 225/50/17 tires.

How did you know the bolt pattern would work? I thought the ranger had a minimum compatibility like jeeps or sumthing. I didnt think any GM stuff would work.

I backed into a CTS the other day. Put a large dent in the crappy plastic bumper. They had about 4000 dollars worth of damages... from a dented bumper.

Insurance covered it, thank god.

Anyway, those look good on your truck. Any plans for painting them?

I also didnt think that GM stuff would work, so I was surprised too. I measured the bolt pattern of the Cadillac rims with a tape measure, which was 5 X 4.5". I found out online that the Cadillac bolt pattern is 5 X 115MM, the Ranger bolt pattern is 5 X 114.3MM. So I didnt have to use adapters or anything. I have no plans for painting them.
