Ford Ranger Wheel Spacers Size Chart & Offset Explained
Thickness:
Choosing the best spacer size depends on the style and performance you want for your truck. Here’s a quick pros and cons breakdown of popular sizes:
- 1/2-inch: Clears bigger brake calipers while keeping an OEM-like wheel style.
- 1-inch: Provides better handling for daily driving and light off-roading.
- 1.25-inch: Good for achieving a flush stance while enhancing stability.
- 1.5-inch: Allows for fitting wider AT tires, which is good for rock crawling.
- 2-inch: Ideal for fitting a 1.5”-2” lift kit without tire rubbing issues.
Bolt Pattern (PCD):
The wheel bolt pattern is one of the key factors in identifying wheel dimensions. When installing Ford Ranger wheel spacers you have to know the correct lug pattern. Here is a brief guide to the bolt pattern (PCD) and center bore (CB) of a Ford Ranger (including the old models sold in the USA):
- Ranger V (2024-2025): PCD=6×139.7mm, CB=93.1mm, Thread=M12x1.5mm.
- Ranger IV (2019-2023): PCD=6×139.7mm, CB=93.1mm, Thread=M12x1.5mm.
- Ranger III (1998-2012): PCD=5×114.3mm, CB=70.5mm, Thread=1/2″-20 UNF.
- Ranger II (1993-1997): PCD=5×114.3mm, CB=70.5mm, Thread=1/2″-20 UNF.
- Ranger I (1982-1992): PCD=5×114.3mm, CB=70.5mm, Thread=1/2″-20 UNF.
Correct Offset:
Wheel spacers are designed to decrease the wheel offset. A lower wheel offset typically makes your wheels sit further out from the hub assembly, providing a wider wheel stance. For example, if the 2025 Ford Ranger stock wheel offset is +55mm, then a 38.1mm spacer will make the final offset +16.9mm. If you are on a budget, then Ranger hub-centric wheel spacers may be a better choice.
Who Makes the Best Ford Ranger Wheel Spacers for Sale?
BONOSS has the engineering team to measure the specific vehicle more than 3000 times in detail. With 1800+ drawing updates, BONOSS provides the most precise truck wheel spacers. Here are several key advantages that make BONOSS spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for More Benefits
At the same price as other spacers, BONOSS forged active cooling truck spacers come with an active cooling function. Distributed in petal shape, these grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the spacer when rotating. The air takes away the heat, actively dissipating heat for the brakes. This boosts the cooling efficiency, reducing brake thermal decay.
2. Knurling Surface for Better Experience
The side knurling design eliminates internal stress which contributes to more reliable product mechanical properties. The crisscross knurling pattern enlarges the cooling area which is good for the active cooling effect. BONOSS forged active cooling Ford Ranger wheel spacers boost the whole user experience.
3. Precisely Machined for No Deviation
These BONOSS Ford Ranger hub-centric wheel spacers are CNC machined, precision at 0.02mm tolerance. The smaller the tolerance value, the higher the accuracy, the better the surface quality, and the higher the reliability. The wheels are well-balanced so that there will be less chance of vibrations.
