the steel wheels I'm talking about are 5"on5-1/2" bolt circle, 15"
I demonuted several tires and found some of these wheels are 5-1/2" wide and some are 6" wide.
Were the 5-1/2" wide wheels for car or truck?

 

I don't know of any late model ford cars that have that bolt pattern , ford cars 48 and older did but were 16" wheels about 4.5" wide. Most ford passenger cars have 5 on 4.5" or 5 on 5" .May be ford pickup wheels made by two different manufactures , a lot of parts are sub contracted to different manufactures. Or there may be some out there I don't know about.

 

I can tell ya 73-96 halfers have 15 x 7" with 4" backspacing. If the are ford, they must be way vintage IMHO Dodge? Jeep? Binder?

 

They have the ford oval logo stamped in them...

 

Been thinking bout this, they are 6" wide. I was wrong. The base wheel for "dog dish" caps. Ive never seen them that narrow. Hmmmm

 

Ive never seen them that narrow either until now, maybe I just never noticed this before.

 

D6TZ (1976): First year FoMoCo offered 6" wide steel wheels for E/F150 & Bronco. 5 1/2" wheels continued to be available.

xkpsanit: No such thing as a 7" wheel: FoMoCo measures wheels across the inner flanges, not across from the outer lips.

Look in any Ford Truck Parts Catalog, see if you can find a 5 lug 5 1/2" bolt circle 7" wide wheel. Lotsa luck, cuz there's no such thing!

The only Passenger Cars that came w/5 lug wheels on a 5 1/2" bolt circle: 1928/31 Model A (spokes), 1932/34 Ford (spokes), 1940/48: Ford (16") / Mercury/Lincoln Zephyr/Continental (15").
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1977: FoMoCo introduced Styled Steel & Styled Aluminum wheels for E/F150's. Bronco's got 'em in 1978.

Styled Steel could be either 15" x 6" or 15" x 8" / Styled Aluminum: 15" x 6" / These wheels and later variations were used thru 1996, with one exception.

Some 1980/83 F100's have 5 1/2" bolt circle wheels, some have 4 1/2" bolt circle wheels.

1997: F150's began using metric wheels, but no Econoline (E100/350) has metric wheels. So...if you want 6" wide wheels, look for 1976/2013 E150's.

 

Thanks for the info
