late 80's full size ford bolt pattern size??

[Ranger1776]

ok, so im looking for a set of these rims, most of the time i see them on late 80's f150's, and i know of a set that are available to me, but i need to know if the bolt pattern size will work, my truck is the 35 up front and the 8.8 in the back... thanks so much, i cant seem to find a list of vehicles with identical bolt patterns to the ranger, unless im not looking hard enough, if someone knows alot about rim changing and what not, perhaps works at a tire shop or something maybe throw something up in the Tech Library. thanks again guys! sorry if i missed it if its already in the Tech Library

Get a set of Wagon wheel style rims that are designed for your ranger, paint them silver instead of white, get the beauty rings and a set of the center caps. you might pull off the look.

There are several Ranger/Bii's that come close to that look that will bolt on.

First link I found, they're all over though.

Wheel pattern should be:

Ranger - 5 on 4.5"
Fullsize - 5 on 5.5"

Not the same, Bro. Spacers do what they say...space out the wheel for clearance. Adaptors have the bolt patteren of the wheel you want to add to a vehicle. Both add some stress to wheel bearings...another thing to worry about.

What he said ^^^


Stay away from adaptors and do the job right the first time.

yeah i dont expect ill use them but its kind of a neat idea, kinda like the stuff we come up with in machine shop for our cars and trucks!

yeah, for the price of the adapters AND the F150 wheels, you can probably save yourself some money and get the wagon wheels/ trim ring/ centers and paint them. plus they will be made for your truck, and you won't have to worry about messing with the adapters everytime you need to do the brakes or work on the axles/ hubs

its hard to say....3/4 adapters are fine regardless.

likely if your never gonna go 4 wheelin hard then buying rims that fit what you have are a good way to go.

otherwise upgrading to 44 style setup on the d35 is a winner and requires the fullsize wheels.
