Smile Wheels

OK folks.. I have a 72 f-100 with stock wheels. I plan on changing them and I like to know what the stock back spacing is and wheel widths.. Id like to go to a 15x8 or 15x10, But I need to know the back spacing.. I will be running 235x75R15 front and 31x10.50R15 Rear.. So all info will be helpfull...

the bolt pattern is a 5 on 51/2" not sure of original backspacing but a good tire shop should have it in a book or computer. now just curious why mix tire sizes?? if you are running 31x10.5's in the rear wouldnt it make sense to run the same size all the way around??

Mainly becouse I like the look.. A nice full rear wheel opening and rake to the truck.. And I found that when pulling up ramps a wider tire grips better..
