Ranger rotors are for the 4cyl. Or older foxes. Mark 7 svo rotors have a snout that protrudes that causes interference with newer rims.

Need to know what year car you have and what rim you are considering to give more info

Ford ranger rotors won't fit on a 90 5.0. The diameter is too small. Those are the swap rotors for a 4 cyl mustang.

You want 1990 mark 7 rotors, and no the center caps won't fit. I've seen guys machine out a circle in the cap to let it poke through and then run the caps like that.

The wheel will bolt up fine.

If you already have the wheel, run to your local auto parts store and buy a 90 mark 7 rotor and test fit it on the rim off the car. You'll see exactly what you need to do. Then return it if you don't want to go that way
