Ranger Rims???

I am thinking about picking up some 17 inch motegi mr7s for my 97 ranger. The tires are 225/45/17 and the rims have a 5 and 5/8" backspacing. I guess that is like a +35 offset. I am just wondering if they would fit and how far they will stick out of the fenders. thanks

35 offset will require approx 1" spacer/adapter to get the wheel in the right location. You might get by with as small as 1/2" spacer, given how small of tire you are planning on using (which btw, is pretty narrow for a 7.5" rim)

well my ranger is only 2 wheel drive so that is a pretty big tire actually... Given that it is 2wd would it work. Also that is a pretty big offset so i dont see the need for a spacer.
