Wheel Fitment question

I'm finding it very difficult to find listings of custom wheels for my 1980 E-150 Club Wagon but I'm sure there are many out there from which to choose if I had the correct fitment information. My main concern is that the wheels are hubcentric and not lugcentric. Anyone have the wheel specs for my van?

Hate to say it,but it's gonna be hard to find an aftermarket wheel that is hubcentric.If I'm wrong someone will let us know,but I think the rear are lugcentric on the E-series.

I thought Ford had lugcentric until '97 when it switched to hubcentric...

Does this have the stock 1980 suspension?

Yes, the suspension is totally stock 1980. The wheel hub hole measures 88 mm and is tapered. American Racing has a Hopster model wheel with a 3.420" Taper Bore and I'm wondering if this is what I need to be hubcentric. If so, this is the only wheel they offer with this bore, and I've never seen this offered on any other after-market wheel. But I'm still looking. Thanks for the replies.
