Ranger wheels

my rims are FWD offset have you seen how much i tuck? hahaha, luckily thanks to my toyo 5 lug conversion we should be running the same lug pattern...if you wanna check em out let me know. maybe even swap over rims to see how they both fit....and Yes myself and the rest of the AcrophobiA crew should be there.

see the thing that sucks is that u have the wheels that I have always wanted .... those are my fav wheels in the world but my truck barley lays on them 19`s and I know it wouldnt lay atall with the 20`s but im willing to give it a shot.... figured it be cheaper on u if U just found some 18`s hehe

might want to talk to this guy about what offset and tire size.

If you redo the frame on that truck your a f*#kin dumbass! That is the best set-up you could ever put on a Ranger! I've put 30,000 mi. on that truck and never had a single problem out of it!!! And there's nothing wrong with the pinion angle, I've drug that truck @ 90 mph and it doesn't vibrate or anything!!! So if you want to f*#k up a perfectally good truck go ahead, but don't say there is anything wrong with it!!!!!

served...lets be honest u are aruging against something that has been proven by facts and engineering...i said reverse anythign is bad...thats what i said..that is the main reason for the pinion angle problem...you have the bottom side of the axle traveling in a radius towards the front of the truck and the top of the axle traveling in a radius towards the back of the truck..as the suspension oves the two are pulled apart..idealy the two should be on the same radius causing no change in angle of the axle at all....do u understand that explanation...it goes a little further then just what u think..there is some geometry, physics and engineering involved when saying somehting is the best design...in fact if u were to simulate ur "That is the best set-up you could ever put on a Ranger!" in a cad program and compare it to any foward apllication and the results would be obvious...u can basically have all the oponion but oponion dosent mean right...i am not trying to argue with anyone..if u want that on ur truck..cool...

u are the one calling people dumbass and retard...that proves your intellegence and maturity level. level...

So what ur bassically sayin is that I should run the wishbone that is run to the back of the truck forward?? I have thought about doin that but im not sure if thats possible cuz of the drive shaft.... either that or pull that wishbone out and go to 2 seperate link bars?!?! I dont know my buddy did my links for me in my other trucks. the bridge is gettin redone in a few weeks.... should be pretty sick lookin.... ill post up when I get it done. the truck is also gettin a slidin rag put in on friday... and the interior except for the seats will be replaced with 2000 interior sometimes this weekend hopefully. Later

there was a right up in this months minitruckin which discusses link systems, and i believe it specifically called out reverse wishbones as being somewhat bad because they create an instant center where it's not ideal to have one.

yeah thats what I understand of that... thats y I want to re do it.
