Those with lowered 61-66 f100's. Wheel offset?

I'm about to order some Cragar SS's for my 65 F100. I need to know what offset to go with. I have a set of late model bronco wheels now and they rub when I turn sharp. Need something with a little more offset.

Specs on your wheels would be great. I'm looking to run a 15x7 in the front and 15x8 in the rear.

Isn't that still a 5 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern? If so I wasn't aware Cragar was making those anymore. If you found a source please share, I'm missing 2 for my 53 F100.

 

YEah, 5x51/2" I havn't looked yet. I figured they where because I have seen them on these trucks. That ****s if they don't. I guess i'll be finding something else. Was thinking maybe torque thrust? Not sure what my options are.

Cragar does make the 5 x 5.5 bolt pattern.

Fwiw, I've been told by a friend with a 66 F100 they won't fit on the front without turning down the hub a hair or two. Apparently the front hubs are about 5 mm larger than the center cap. He had his hubs turned down.

 

Cool, thanks for the link I gladly stand corrected.

 

How did you lower the truck? Some of the lowered I Beams place the front wheels out farther than stock. Perhaps that's part of the issue?

 

I used the aim droped I beams. They do stick out farther than the rear but I've noticed most old ford trucks do. Pretty weird. Not sure why they do that.

Thanks,
MIke

 

My pop's 70 Ford pu tracked wider in the front than the 9" it had out back.

 

My '62 is the same. I believe the difference in the rear/front track was eliminated in '73...
