Hence, the latter manifests better, less-bouncy rides that most Ford drivers from European markets fall in love with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, 5-lug&#8217;s performances are impressive on their own, which explains why Ford Ranger occasionally returns to them (evident in 2010 Facelift II and 2010 Facelift III).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-i-change-my-ford-rangers-5-lug-pattern-to-6-pattern\"><strong>Can I Change My Ford Ranger&#8217;s 5-Lug Pattern to 6-Pattern?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can do it with wheel adapters commonly distributed in American markets. Yet, there are no guarantees that these changed patterns can perform as well as an original 6-lug design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worse, you may risk messing up the car&#8217;s suspension and tread life. It would be better to err on the safer side and keep things as they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"5 lug to 6 lug Wheel Adapters - HOW TO INSTALL - Do They Work\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dihH1dD-L4c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The lug pattern Ford Ranger in the domestic market has consistently been 6-lug since 2002, though the brand does occasionally return to its old 5-lug Ranger models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think twice before changing your 5-lug configuration to 6-lug or vice versa; messing up the tire assembly of your vehicle models does more harm than good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For other tips on buying wheel sizes, contact me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ford is among automobile brands with the most diverse bolt patterns; as such, it is natural for Ford Ranger drivers to wonder where their cars&#8217; &#8230; <a title=\"Ford Ranger Wheel Bolt\/Lug Pattern (1982 to Now)\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/ford-ranger-wheel-bolt-pattern\/\" aria-label=\"More on Ford Ranger Wheel Bolt\/Lug Pattern (1982 to Now)\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2912,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[17],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2713"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2713"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2713\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8577,"href":"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2713\/revisions\/8577"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2912"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
