    Can you use 35 ford wheels on a8.8 uFord rear axle? The wheels are 5x5.5 bolt pattern. Did any of the 8.8s have this pattern?

    You have to use a spacer, the wire wheels need to have the center supported. Several companies sell adapters for 5x4.5 to 5x5.5, they need to be deep enough to support the area where the lug nuts attach. Speedway motors has Ford wire wheel adapters for $80 each in various bolt patterns.
