Assuming it is a 1970 F100 4x2 (based off you profile info)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

5-spoke (mag type) | "FORD" center | 620
5-spoke (mag type) | "FORD MOTOR COMPANY" center, early | 689A
5-spoke (mag type) | "FORD MOTOR COMPANY" center, late | 689B
5-spoke (mag type) | plain center | 619
8 ribs | 602
20 depressions | 949
24 depressions | 953

The blue number represent the original Hollander wheel cover number

Your hubcap(s) are a dog-dish style, app. 10.5" dia. x 2" deep
Typically found on 1971-1979

If you wanted to utilize those dog dish hubcaps you need a Ford "outie" wheel
Typically found on 1966/1991 F100/F150/E100

If you need them in a 15 inch wheel / 5 lug size, your options are

15 x 5" - B5C--1015-A

15 x 5-1/2" - C5TZ-1007-D (Stamped #38046)

Assuming you went with 15 x 5-1/2:
They are very easy to come by.
Scrapyards / Pickaparts will usually sell them for $15 a pop.

NOT SO FAST.......The minimum recommended wheel width for 275/60s is 15x7.5

Those caps and tires will fit on Wheel Vintiques Series 62 steel wheels... about $82 per wheel from Summit Racing.

I just put a set on my '70... 7s in the front wearing 225/70s and 8s on the back wearing 275/60s.

The hubcaps fit fine even with only 3 outer bumps?

I always though they had to have 4.

Sho' thang.

I went with staggered sizes to correct the appearance of the rear end's narrower track width.

Another option is to get a '73-'79 Dentside 9-inch rear end (move the spring perches/lower shock mounts inward on the housing). The Dentside rear end will space the rear wheels out the to same width as the fronts on the '70, because the Dentside 9-inch rear is 4" wider than the stock '70 9-inch rear.

The majority of Dentside 9-inch rears came with 31-spline axles. Finding a 31-spline Traction-Lok 3rd member in a Dentside is much easier than trying to find a 28-spline Traction-Lok differential in a '70-'72 F100. --if this is an upgrade you would like to consider as well.

With the Dentside 9-inch, you could run the same width wheels/tires all the way around and you would be able to properly rotate your tires, to make them last longer. ....just another possible approach to consider.
