Ford 4 Lug Wheels - What Are My Options?

Wheel vintiques offer a steel wheel in 15" with a dual 4 lug pattern 4.25 and 4.5 for about 65.00 a wheel. I'm running a full set of 15X7's

 

Ford Maverick or Granada front disc spindles are probably your best bet along with the 8" rear out of same. The Fairlane spindles I believe from one of my old Fairlaner magazines are different in the steering geometry. Convert the car to V8 steering linlkage as well.

 

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back for being the "HAMB Datsun guy". Seems every website I look at shows the 70s Datsun Z cars to being the same 4.5" pattern just like I said, including the website referenced above.

Yes, i'd also love to know,im lookin for 4lug cragars ss too,
but seems like a hard battle really!
If anybody has a clue or actually sells them pls feel free to pm me!
Thanx, Nick.

PS just to keep it on thread, i have a set of 14" smoothies which
i got from Pete Paulsen, thyre 4 lug Mustang II pattern, but as
you can see in the 1st pic they have 2 diffrent 4 lug patterns.
One is slightly larger than the other.
Thanx,
Nick.

 

Nice Taunus!!

European Fords, sold in America as the Mercury Capri{70s} & Mercur XR4, have a 4-bolt pattern that might match{?}

These wheels also have the same pattern as 1980s Citroens & Peugeot.

Less luxurious models of the Citroen BX came with neat solid steel wheels, not as fugly as a space saver & it will take a proper tire!

I think Dooster might have used them on one of their Cortina based kits?

 

"What are my options?"

Hubcaps.... all sorts of them depending what size rims you run -

 

I think mooneyes has thier salt flat look 4 lug wheel but its a 17" .could look rad if thats the look you are going for.

 

Okay, look for a granada spindles.....they'll do the trick...or keep the 6 and run some chrome lug nuts on a soild color steely. That a cost effective route. Your rims are 14 or they should be. I have some soild American racing rims with the rivets around the rim....they came on our 64 fairlane when we bought it. They are 4 lug.

 

my 64 falcon will not accept a 4 lug mustang 2 rim.

 

When I was a kid, I wrecked my '65 Mustang V-8 and replaced it with a 6 cylinder Falcon. I changed the Falcon over to 5 bolt with the Mustang spindles and rearend. The Mustang steering arms had more drop to them and angled the tie rods too much. Ended up with bump steer but I did'nt care. At least my chrome steel slots would fit. Young & dumb, I guess.
