welcome. not really sure how i feel about the 8 wheels on there... they kinda look a little goofy... and ranger parts, of the same model years should be pretty swap able since that is just a rebadged ranger with a different grill/headlight setup than the ranger, and its got a ford motor... that particular truck would be built on the ranger platform and should have the 2.3 liter 4 cylinder ford motor... i really cant see much not being interchangeable.... they might say "not compatible" but thats just so they can try to get you to buy something different...

btw...


SWEET LOOKIN HOUSE. i want to see more pics of THAT!!!! lol

the wheels look good to me and not goofy as was mentioned by 91extcab. some people just like to pick things apart when they see them.

Welcome to the site, nice house! and nice truck. I really like the color. What color is that?

What are wheel uppers? I'm pretty knowledgeable with Rangers so I'll try to help.

Thanks!

The rx8 wheels have already been sold and awaiting the new Speed3 wheels..

The color I think is called BLAZING COPPER

these are what I mean... they got way too many names not as straightforward as cars who only have side skirts or rear/front lip.. lol

these may be called:
Bushwackers
Wheel Uppers
Wheel Mouldings
Fender Flares
etc...

I see what you mean, most of the time I see them called fender flares, wheel moldings are typically the chrome trim that goes around the wheel opening.

Too bad I threw some of those fender flares I had away. Just so you know those are factory on the 4x4 model and they have clips on the underside that clip into holes on the fender.

You should be able to remove the clips from the fender flare and use double sided tape though.

i'm just not a fan of rx8s, or the wheels that come stock on them... i have seen a few powder coated rx8 wheels and it made them look just different enough on a different vehicle that i didnt mind them... i for the most part feel the same way seeing the 5 star factory mustang rims on rangers... i feel that they look goofy...

like these... i just think this looks weird...

lol..

well.. different colors different tastes

and you threw them away?!??! HOw Come???
tucnrim   +1y
throwing things away is a no no baha...lol always someone that wants something... like that color. what your plans with the truck?
scorpiongeo   +1y
at first I though of lowering the B on springs and rear converter but as of now I think I'll leave it with the wheels and hopefully get the fender flares seeing as I recently bought the bed cover w/ lock to finally have storage space w/ peace of mind lol...

keep it nice and simple
