earlearly bronco wheel compatibility

Hi all
I just purchased a 67 basket case roller and wanted to start by putting this at least on rims and tires. What ford f150 and later bronco rims are compatible?
So will 80s bronco rims fit or will 70s f150 rims fit as long as they are big hole or 4 wheel drive?

Most Ford 5 lug rims from 1928 to 1996 will fit. 2WD or 4WD doesn't matter. However, some F-100s (and probably cars?) had a smaller lug pattern, 5 on 4 1/2" I think. You need the standard 5 on 5 1/2".

By the way, 5 lug Jeep wheels up to about 1986 also work.

4WD makes no difference.

5 lug wheels on a 5.50" bolt circle:

1940/48 Ford/Merc Passenger Cars; 1948/52 F1; 1953/79 F100; 1966/96 Bronco; 1969/74 E200; 1975/96 F150; 1975/2014 E100/150; Some 1980/83 F100.

Note: Some 1980/83 F100's have 5 lug wheels on a 4.50" bolt circle. F150's went to metric wheels in 1997, but no Econoline of any year has metric wheels.
