Will any ford truck wheel fit my B2 as long as the donor is a 4x4? Stock tire size is 205/70/15 correct?
 
does this mean any wheel as long as its 5 lug 4.5 bolt pattern? what about offset? any ok
 
I think mine are 3.5 or so. hav had them on for so long i cant rememver. I have no issue with them after i did my little lift. Im running little 235s though.
 
gotta watch for inside rubbing. I had a set of aluminum rims with standard size tires (forget the size)on my 88 ranger. swapped the rims/tires around from the 88 ranger to the 87 Bronco 2. Both are 4X4, no after market lifts, the same as they were when they were made. The tires from the '88 ranger rub on the inside of the '87 Bronco 2 when making a sharp turn. I just discovered that the other day, so I'm not sure what exactly they are rubbing on yet. It's hardly noticable, barely makes any noise. In fact, I had the window down before I heard it. I took a quick look and saw where it had rubbed the metal shiny.

I guess I'll be needing some spacers but I've never messed with any so have no idea what to get.
 
OK now back to the question . Will ANY ford wheel fit as long as its 5 lug 4.5 bolt pattern. Or only truck or only 4x4s This is in reference to the opening for the hub.
 
4x4 has to have a 4x4 wheels, dont know the exact size of the center opening, but i hade some 2wd wheels that didnt fit on my 4x4's front hubs, found out the hard way,,, just my .02
 
Generally speaking yes as well as jeep wheels. As long as the back spcing is no more than 4 inches, tire size 30" or less and they were from a 4X4, if there is no lift of any kind on a BII. The 30 inch no names from Discount Tire I put on my 87 fit and ran fine until I put the D35 in. Now they rub when backing out of my drive way with the tire turned sharply, go figure:icon_confused: As the D35 is about 3" wider overall than the D28 I would have thought the tires sitting out further would have been the same as a wheel with more offset. Oh well, the 4" lift I just installed should take care of the rubbing....
