5" x 4.5" Pattern
Hi all,
I've been getting different info from various sources. I have a '94 Ranger with 14" rims. I'm looking to upgrade to the P71 16" (police rims) from a Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis etc. I would settle for a set of stock black steel 16" wheels, But are they all the same?
I recall Mopar and Ford rims being the same for a long time too, but I hear Mopar changed their bolt patterns also.
What years fit? Some are metric, different hub holes etc...
Junkyard says new, old all the same. Tire place says there is a difference, Ebay seller says there is a difference, Craigslist seller says no difference.
Well, please let me know if there is a difference.
Also are the backsets the same?
Thanks in advance,
Bob

I think you'll be good with the bolt pattern and hub bore. But a quick search brings up mixed results on the back-spacing. Some claim spacers, some say not.
I recently picked up a set of 17" rims for my F-150 w/ a larger hub bore, and was able to just buy $10 hub-centric rings to match my hubs. But I hear the Dodge hubs are smaller.. at least on the 1/2 ton trucks.
I'd try the junkyard. I've bought 3 wrong sets of wheels over the past few years. (all cheap, thank god) Most recently was a combo of wrong rims and tires for a trailer.
