1997 Ford Ranger STX Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1997 Ford Ranger STX accepts a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 70.3mm hub bore. The factory wheel measures 15x5.5 with an 18mm offset. You can upgrade to larger diameters and widths—15x6 through 15x8, 16x7.5 to 16x8, 17x7.5 to 17x8, or 18x8—all maintaining the same bolt pattern and center bore for a direct fit.
When shopping, confirm any wheel uses that exact 5x114.3 bolt pattern; nothing else threads on safely. If your new wheel's center bore exceeds 70.3mm, we supply hub-centric rings to ensure a proper fit. Aggressive widths or offsets significantly different from stock may contact fenders or suspension components, so stick with our verified sizes and ask before experimenting with extreme setups.
Every wheel we list for your Ranger is guaranteed to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Aodhan, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Enkei, Vors, Black Rhino, BBS, and Gram Lights all carry fitments ready to ship.
