Best Ford Ranger Aftermarket Wheels and Rims 

Are you ready to upgrade the look of your Ford Ranger? Why not start with a set of stylish and aggressive aftermarket wheels? While bumpers, lift kits, and lighting upgrades turn heads, nothing makes a bigger impact than swapping out the stock wheels for an aftermarket set. 

Factory wheels are often narrow and bland, intended to do little more than roll down the road with stock-sized tires. Upgrading rims is a straightforward bolt-on way to transform your Ranger's appearance and enhance its presence on and off the road. 

If you're in the market for aftermarket wheels but aren't sure which style or brand to choose for your Ford Ranger, don't worry—we've got you covered. In this guide, we break down everything you need to know about aftermarket wheels and rims, including popular styles, materials, finishes, and our top picks.

Why Install Aftermarket Wheels on Your Ranger

Aftermarket wheels are one of the most popular and impactful truck upgrades, for good reason. Here's why they're a top upgrade among Ford Ranger owners.

Styling

Let's start with the obvious—aftermarket wheels are one of the quickest ways to alter your truck's style completely. Whether you're aiming for a rugged off-road appearance or a sleek street look, the right wheels can instantly enhance your truck's style. 

With RealTruck's extensive designs, finishes, and sizes, you can select the perfect product to tailor your Ranger's stance and style. Additionally, adjusting dimensions such as diameter, width, and offset allows you to fine-tune your Ranger's stance, ranging from wide and aggressive to sleek and flush. 

Durability

As a popular platform for overlanding, the Ford Ranger has proven itself durable and reliable in the dirt. If you're planning to hit the trails, you'll need a set of durable wheels to withstand even the most challenging terrain. Many off-roaders prefer steel wheels for their toughness—they can take a beating and still get you home. Even if they bend, a hammer might be all you need to get them trail-ready again.

For everyday driving and moderate off-roading, cast or forged aluminum wheels offer a great mix of strength and weight savings. Whether you're daily driving, hauling gear, or heading off the grid, there's an aftermarket wheel built for your driving style.

Fitment

Stock Ranger wheels tend to be conservative in both size and offset, which can cause clearance issues when running a lift kit and larger tires. If you're experiencing rubbing or struggling to fit the tires you want, aftermarket wheels give you far more freedom.

Aftermarket wheels allow you to modify offsets, widths, and diameters to better accommodate lift kits, tire upgrades, and custom suspension setups.
