New Question. I can't seem to find any rims to fit the car. Anyone know what size the bolt pattern is? I have been told it's a 5 1/2" But I measure it out to be 5 1/4". Thanks, Cole
Check with Dennis Carpenter Ford Parts in Charlotte NC or the Duck (Bob Drake) in Grant's P***, Oregon. They should bolt kits for everything for your car.

Thats what we thought. But we tried the rims that were once on my dads ford ranger and they don't fit. From what I know the front and rear ends are stock. They have 5 bolts. I took on of the drums off and I think I'm just going to bring them to a junk yard and see if they have anything. I just need some junk rims and tires to have a rolling chaise. If anything we might just drill new holes into an old set of rims. How do you measure the bolt pattern? Is it center of the lug to the center of the lug across from it?
The bolt circle is measured by the cir***ference of a circle drawn through the middle of all bolt holes. So you measure from the center of one bolt hole straight across the rim to an imaginary arc between the two bolt holes opposite the first one. The bolt circle is 5.5 (aka 5 X 139.5mm). Here are some vehicles that used the 5 X 5.5 wheels: Ford F100/F150 late 1940s-1996; some F100s c. early 1980s have the 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern Dodge Ram 2WD pickup/van 150/1500 1986 - present Jeep CJ to 1986 (includes J-series 1/2 pickups to 1973) International Harvester 1/2 ton pickups incl. Scout SUV to 1980 pre-1960s era Mopars Lincoln RWD to 1960 Toyota Landcruiser early 2000s
