I have a 2000 Ford Ranger just bought a 15x8 rim didnt think to much about the size when I order for some reason was woundering if they would still fit my truck or do I have to send them back. I'm supposed to have 15x7. Its a 2wd. The company said I would be fine but wanted to ask all the mechanics out there what would be best to do.

1" difference in rim width shouldn't be a problem as long as the back-spacing on the rim is the same. (the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the rim on the back side of the wheel)

you'll be fine as long as it is a rwd offset rim so about 4" backspace and for a ranger the bolt pattern is 5 on 4.5. have done installs like that many times.

your fine, that little of a change isnt a big deal, its when you start jumping from15 inch rims to 20's and thingslike that you need to worry, and just to throw it out there, i have a S-10 that is lowered 4 inches and im running 18's fine. so no worrys dude.

I would think that you'll be OK. As long as the wheels clear the disk brake calipers. Is the offset close to the original?
Try them on, and see how they look. Should be OK, but that is no guarentee for sure.
