are the rims gonna fit?

The SN95 axles are 0.75" longer, which won't work with the 17x9" 5.95BS. You could use these wheels with the stock length Ranger axles, but then I think you're stuck with the drums... you could use a bigger drum though...

Another option is the 1998 cobra 17x8", 5.72" BS wheels, which look like the R's. A 255/40 tire would still be alright, and you could use these wheels all around (with the SN95 axles in the rear). They fit better up front too...

[I like the '99 cobra wheels myself, and plan to go that route].
