Aerostar/Taurus/Ranger rims compatibility

Howdy to all.

The quation is about wheel compatibility.

I have '89 aero, '01 Ranger and '93 Taurus.

The quation about interchangability.

I know only that Aero and ranger has 1/2"x20 lug threads, Taurus has M12X1.25 threads, I also saw M14x1.75 threads on some small trucks.

But what about patterns?

I think the Taurus has a 4.25" bolt circle, while the others have 4.5", so no, they will not interchange.

The Aero and Ranger should interchange, but the Taurus rims aren't going to help. Different bolt pattern, probably different offset-backspacing, for use on front wheel drive.

I have 15x6 inch Ranger rims with 215/65 15 tires on my '97 shorty. The diameter of the tires is the same as the old 14 inch rims with the stock tires. No speedometer change.
The ranger rims have deeper look and look good on thr Aero. The lugs are 5 with 4 1/2inch spacing. Mopar rims have the same spacing as Ford also.

4.25 bolt circle is correct, but I don't know about center hole size or offset. Is Volga a FWD vehicle.

Volga is RWD car made like old Ford cars with solid axe on leafsprings.... really Severstal (Nordsteel) and GAZ now do not want to redesign cars becouse they have really mid. size truck market. They purchased LDV, a part of Steyr, Part of Charkov diesel motor plant and many other actives to develop truck branch and managment say we will build Volga till people bue. Then they will build Crysler cars there with domestic engines. They started Sebring now.

People call Volga boat there for old type of handling... Well, I gonna visit some JYs to be sure. Stock Volga tires are 205/65R15
