Hub PCD Question

Gidday from Down Under,
I just bought a 1966 F100 in Lewisville Texas and I am in the process of getting it ready to ship to Australia. The wheels on the truck are all wrong and I am trying to organize a set of wheels to be fitted to it before it is shipped back. Can anyone advise what the PCD is for the 1966 F100? I thought it was 5 x 5.5 and I just tried to order some on ebay and the guy is trying to tell me that the correct fitment is 5 x 4.5??? I would appreciate some advice on this.
Cheers, Chris.

5x5.5 unless it's been modified for an f-100

5 lug 5.5 inch bolt circle is the truck (f-100) bolt pattern. 5 lug 4.5 inch bolt circle is the car bolt pattern.

Some 1980/83 F100's have 5 lug, 4.50" bolt circle wheels.

Some 1968/79 cars have a 5 lug 5.00" bolt circle wheels.

1961/66 F100 w/15" wheels: 5 lug, 5.50" bolt circle, 5 1/2" wide.

The 5 1/2" width is measured from the inside of the lip, not the outside.

Excepting the 1980/83 F100's with the 4.50" bolt circle, any 1961/83 F100, 1975/96 F150, 1975/96 E100/150, 1966/96 Bronco wheel will bolt right on.

1977 was the first year Ford offered factory Styled Steel and Aluminum wheels for F100/150's. The same wheels were used on 1978/96 Bronco's and 1977/96 Econolines.

1997, the wheels are different, have a metric bolt pattern.

Thank you all for your assistance. What a helpful bunch you are.

I'll get some wheels ordered and get the truck on it's way to Australia. I'll up load some pictures of my restoration.

Cheers, Chris.
