Exclamation Bigger wheels

My 1996 has 14 inch wheels if I can find a set in the jy that are cheap would like to move up to a 15 inch wheel.

Will I have any issues doing this?SD530384.jpg

You would just need new tires as well. Rangers come stock with 15s and 16s mainly. So you could just grab some other Ranger wheels and throw them on. I would suggest 15s as tires are cheaper for them.

I have a set of 4 stock exp rims,but with shipping it would not be worth it.Stock rims are 7.5 if you decide you want wider tires like 11.50 you will need at least 8 " rims. Hope this helps.

Yes expy wheels will also work and some jeep wheels. Mustang wheels will fit but some need spacers.
