rim question

Im trying to find out the specs on the factory aluminum rims they used these years. Reason being i think they look great and want to put a set similair to them on my 1980 ford. Does anyone know what the rim width, bolt pattern, offset and such is on them. for the ford f 150 trucks. Im either gonna get a used set or try and find an aftermarket brand that is similair in style. thanks

They are 15 x 8 and bolt pattern is 5 x 5.5. Don't know the offset. They will fit your truck if it is an F150. The F100s in 80 and 81 had a smaller bolt pattern I believe.

Oh yeah you will have to decide if you like the 91-93 style with rivets or the 94-96 without rivets.

Yeah Ford 1/2 tons have had the 5 x 5.5 bolt pattern for EVER. I know my 79 Bronco had that pattern and so did other trucks many years previous.
