Yes, same bolt pattern as the Areo, my Areo still runs a 14" wheel, but I took the wheels that are on there off a 63 T-Bird

Misc 1950/90's Passenger Cars, Aerostars, Rangers, Bronco II's, Explorers, some 1980/83 F100's have the 4.50" bolt circle.
But, some of these wheels will not work on other vehicles w/the 4.50" bolt circle. If disc brakes are present, they won't clear the calipers.
(sigh) 1971 LTD and Galaxie grilles: What a PITA to look up, there were four different types: Chrome ribs w/tan tu-tone argent panels, before 12/1/1970. After 12/1/1970, the panels are greystone and argent.
And some do not have the chrome, as it depends on which model it is. The before/from 12/1/1970 jazz also applies here.
When these grilles faded, and/or the 'plastic chrome' went away (peeps thought it was 'real' chrome, so they used chrome polish on them)...tryin' to figure out which was which was another PITA!
