Wheel options

Can anyone tell me if 15" 4.5" bolt circle factory steel wheels from an older Jeep Wrangler fit my 1997 Ranger?

Thanks in advance.

most likely-if the jeep wheels are steel, the alumminum jeep rims dont have a very large center hub hole, my ranger has steel wheels from a 01 wrangler on it for winter. (see my gallery)

Thanks Racsan, you helped me make up my mind. My old wheels were extremely rusty, and I really didn't want to put new tires on them. I was having a hard time finding decent used Ford wheels for reasonable money.

I found a good set of 4 Jeep steels with almost new tires for $180.00 on Craigslist, and just got done installing them. They had bought bigger wheels and tires for the Jeep. I think the larger diameter is making my speedo an underachiever, but it rides better. Was 225-70R14, now 215-75R15. I also saved a ton over buying decent used wheels and then new tires on top of that.
