If the Lincoln/T-Bird aluminum wheels wouldn't fit a Ranger, it would be because of the offset. Mustang/Torino wheels C8OZ-1007-A won't fit a big Ford (but they fit Rangers). Same 4.50 bolt pattern, but they won't work. It's all about the offset and discs.

Some Buicks, Olds, Pontiacs, Chevrolets, and Chryslers of some years also used this pattern between 1935 and 1976.
My 1971 Mark III had a 4.50, and it doesn't make much sense that 1958-69 Lincolns would be 5," while 1970-72 didn't (1969/71 Mark III's were 4.50, the III was introduced in early 1968, but titled as a 1969~p/n prefix C8LY). Then Ford would return to 5 inchers in 1973.
I ordered microfiche slides for 1965/72 & 1973/79 Ford passenger cars (because that's where the Bronco part numbers till 1980 are), so we'll see how much crow (if any) I'll have to eat.
Edit: All those 1970's 5 inch bolt patterns coincide with the same models having optional (std on Lincolns & Birds) rear discs. So...mebbe yes, mebbe no...but without discs, the std C8AZ & D1AZ-1007-A wheels were 4.50.

Oops.....I think I better bow out of this one. I didn't realize that Lincoln went to IRS, sorry.
