I am considering replacing the wagon wheel something a little different but I know nothing about wheels... I want to order off line and they all talk about bolt Circles, offsets... I think I currently have 15 x 10.5 on it.... But that's all I am sure of and knowing my wheel knowledge that is a little questionable.. Can anyone give me the actual specs I need to order? This is what I have now... Any help will be greatly appreciated

4wd f150s of this era used a 5 on 5.5" bolt pattern(5 on 139.7mm is the metric conversion)
15" rims cam in a multitude of widths and offset. 3.75" is average. You have either a 8" wide or 10" currently
In order to find the offset, you need to remove the wheel and measure from the rim mounting surface(where the hub sits against the wheel) to the bead lip(in inner edge where the wheel weight sits)
I like those rims. If mine, I would break the tires down, media blast the rims and do a
2-part chrome spray and finish them out with new chrome lug nuts, stainless sleeved valve stems and stainless trim/beauty rings. Could be less expensive but still accent the rest of the chrome on the truck.

Or you could bring the wheels over to Central Mass. Powder coating in Clinton Ma. they will sandblast , prime and Powdercoat in the color of your choice, your wheels look good but may be better in a metallic titanium with the chrome trim rings as mentioned. The wheels appear in good shape. I have 31x 10.5 x15 on mine and that's as large as I want to go.

For that kind of money he can buy some REALLY NICE Alcoas
I would say if the tires you are running now are 31x10.5x15 the wheel then looks to be 8". Yes it could be mounted on a 10" wheel but the tires wear funny & fast. I would also guess they have 0 off set but best to measure both before ordering anything.
The other thing is are you going to stay with that size tire? If not that may call for a different size wheel.

I can't imagine that there were too many variations for the wagon wheel, he may be able to get away with looking those up for his truck and find out that way. I spent hours and hours looking for the right offset and black spacing and when I finally found the ones I wanted they were discontinued......still running the stock wheels. With these newer style rimes they seem to have so many different ones he just has to be careful cause you also have to contend with the bore size for the rotor but he has 4x4 so should be fine.
