I have a hanker'in to install some late model Ford truck wheels on my '74 F-100 with big T-bird calipers.

Has anyone done this using wheel adapters and how did the new-style wheel's offset work with your old style front end?

 

I hate to use adapters on a truck, too much weight involved for me.
But no, I haven't seen any.
You might try www.tdperformance.com they used to make all kinds of wheel adapters.

Can you redrill the lug pattern?

 

i have heard spidertrax makes some really great wheel spacers and adapters out of solid aluminum. supposed to be a really good design.

 

I'd probably use something like this:



I know that I can get the wheels physically mounted on the truck (via adapters), I just don't know how much rubbing would occur (if any) and if the wheels would clear the calipers...

 

If 15" wheels cleard, then the 16 or 17" wheels should definately clear.
