Check it out, CVPI Rims on my Ranger!

[crazybronco]

Well I asked the question and I did not get a response from anyone who had done this, so I went and got so Crown Victoria Police car wheels and mounted them on my 83 Ranger. The wheels are 16in and the tires are 225/60-16. I am not sure of the width of the wheel. From what I have read the offset is -.6in.
I wanted to maintain the factory look so I pulled the stock ranger center caps and mounted them on the CVPI wheels. I had to drill three holes each and transfer the screw clips, but not hard.
On the truck they fit great. I have turned the wheels lock to lock and no issues. It drives perfectly. So, bottom line is this, yes they fit and fit great. I got all 4 with like new tires for $145 from a local Pick-a-part.
I do plan to add some trim rings in the future, but this is what it looks like right now.

Let me know what you think.

Maybe if you read the thread you would understand. He said the wheels are 16s and he put 225/60/R15 tires on them.

OK, sorry about the mix up. They are 16in tires too.

I figured. They look killer.

I did read it. Was wondering how you put 15 inch tires on 16 inch wheels. Figured he made a typing boo-boo. Wheels do look good.

I like the wheels. They don't exactly look right on a red and white truck, though. I'd paint them red.

They look great! the original ranger centers are a nice touch. If you can find some 16 inch beauty rings that might compliment them even more, but even without they look great.
