Found a deal on some '86 Mustang rims and tires. The bolt pattern is good but I'm wondering if the 17x8 +45 offset is gonna fit, interfere with front suspension. Any comments?
Thanks!

 

If you have a 5 on 4.5" Bp you'll need 2-2.5" spacers to get everything to clear



These are off of a 2005 Mustang, 17x8 with ~6" BS. They are pictured without spacers and they hit everything.


To my knowledge there was never a 17" wheel option on an '86 Mustang nor were the 5 lug pattern. They are more then likely aftermarket or late model wheels and someone did a 5 lug conversion on the mustang.

I'm just looking for cheap rubber to get me thru the winter.
Wheels and tires saves $ mount and balance. Haven't seen many used 15" in my neighborhood.
The CL posting was in my budget. With spacers, now I'm not sure...
Appreciate the info though.

 

Wouldn't the truck have 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern? I thought all the 5 bolt 7th gen F trucks were 5 on 5.5

 

That's what I thought until I bought some 5x5.5's and found out they didn't fit!
Apparently, specifics count:
1/2 TON F-100 (4X2) POWER BRAKES
80-85
15 X 6
5X114.3 (5x4.5)
1/2-RH

 

Both my 80 f150 and 83 f100 are 5.5, and the whells came off of a 70something.

 

Just to settle my curiosity, what is the GVWR on your F100? Mine is 5050Lbs and I have the truck bolt pattern, I *think* that if your GVWR is under 4700lbs you get the car bolt pattern.

Edit: Nevermind, a quick search basically answered my question. It depends both on the GVWR and whether or not they have power brakes.

 

When I had my 77 F250 I did a little reading, and it looks likes there were literally hundreds of variations on what you could get on your Ford truck. I imagine at least some of that carried over into the 80's.

 

From '80 - '82 F100, 4700# GVRW and POWER Brakes.

This combo netted 5 on 4.5" BP

The wheels in my sig are from a 2000/2001 Explorer or Ranger (not sure as they came on both), they bolted right on and the hubs are the correct diameter to remain "hub-centric".

Any of the later model Explorer / Ranger wheels should fit without modification. Some of the earlier ones had a smaller hub diameter that won't clear your front hubs.

Edit for better pic of the wheels:


Oh yeah..
Jeep Wrangler wheels won't clear the hubs
Jeep Liberty Wheels won't clear the hubs
Jeep Cherokee Wheels won't clear the hubs
"Old" Mustang wheels wont clear hubs
'94 - '04 Mustang wheels will clear but have very deep backspacing (~5-5.5") and will need spacers
'05 - Present Mustang wheels will clear but have even deeper backspacing (~5.5 - 6.125") and will need spacers

 

Wheels off of Dodge trucks will also fit. I have some either 80s or 90s 15x8s on my truck currently, and they fit without problems. I think wheels from trucks up to the 2000s will fit, since I've seen wheels that new on older dodge trucks that have the 5x5.5" BP. I think they come in up to 20" sizes, not sure though.
