First post I see...


A pic is a good start. But it would be more helpful if ya posted the wheel specs and perhaps the specs of the tires mounted on them.


That is, if ya really wanna help out the OP.

Unfortunately with our 5-on-5.5" lug pattern, really nice wheel choices are pretty limited. Custom wheel choices with this dimension lug pattern generally means parting with a large sum of cash.

The 5-on-4.5" lug pattern is a completely different story though. LOTS of wheel choices for that lug pattern. For this though, you'd have to go to a CV or MII front suspension and an Explorer, T-Bird IRS or an '80-'83 F100 9-inch rear with the 5-on-4.5" lug pattern.

Presently, I just have '92-'96 Ford F150 wheels all the way around on my '69 F100. 15" x 7.5" x 5-on-5.5".

Torq thrusts


This is fellow poster Randle's truck with Torque Thrust VN309's. I'm heavily leaning toward these for my own truck.

I love old school look. Back when I was a kid I had the black center version of these on my dark green 70 Plymouth Gran coupe.

Granted, Buford isn't a 2WD, but I do like Centerline wheels. The reason is that they're forged, not cast, aluminum, so they hold a shine longer, they don't pit as easily, and they're nearly as strong as steel rims. They make a number of different styles, but I'm not sure if they offer the lug pattern you're needing. Might be worth a look on their site to see what they have to offer. I also like them over chrome, as once chrome pits, which it will eventually, it never gets better. Just my $0.02.
