Thanks for the correction you wouldn't know of a wheel that ford Made that is 5 on 5.5 and 15 inch that falls between 5.5 and 6.5"s wide and will fit over a 4x4 front hub do you?

 

No such thing as 5.5," 5 1/2" or 5.50" bolt circle on any Ford or Merc after 1948. No T-Bird ever used this size either.

1974/76 Birds & Mark IV's, 1973/78 Ford LTD's & Mercury Marquis came with 15" wheels with a 5.00" bolt circle.

 

So anyways it appears I am looking for 15" rims off of a 2wd or possibley a 4wd that fall between 5.5" and 6.5"s wide that have a large enough center hole for my dana 44 front hub so if Ford put rims that narrow on a 4x4 it should be no problem and if only 4x2 f150's got rims factory that small I will need to hope that the center hole is either large enough or that I can enlarge it. If anyone out therehas put 2 wd rims on a 4x4 please let me know.

 

Where oh where did you come up with that info?

Name one year that Ford offered a 4WD: F100, F150, F250, F350, F Super Duty, Ranger, Bronco II, Explorer, whatever, that the 4WD wheel won't fit a 2WD.

You can look from now till armageddon, you won't find a single one.

If you do not know what you are typing about, PLEASE do not post!

All you have done is confused everyone with false and mis-leadiing info.

I can't even remember what the hell the OP is looking for after correcting all your posts.

 

Number dumby obviously you are not following what I am saying you see someone else in this thread told me he has never been able to fit a 2wd f150 rim on a 4wd f150 truck. Because according to this user the 4x4 hub is larger than the 2wd hub. Are you following me here so according to what another user told me in this thread 2wd f150 rims have a smaller center hole and will not fit over the supposed larger 4x4 front hub. All I want to know really is if Ford made a 15inch wheel that will fit on the front of my 5 lug dana 44 axle that is no wider than 6.5 inches and no narrower than 5.5 innches.

 

Understand I'm trying to put very narrow rims to put very small tires onto to put on a 4x4 f150 so it will fit in my garage.

 

Whoever told you that is WRONG!

I have the parts catalogs, so I can look up every wheel from 1928 thru 2003 on every Ford 2WD, 4WD or even 6WD trucks.

There is not one wheel listed after 1958 that was used on F100/150 2WD's that won't fit 4WD's EXCEPT some 1980/83 F100's that have a 4.50" bolt circle, and no 1980/83 F100 was available with 4WD regardless.

You are going by a member who has no Ford parts experience, no parts catalogs, and is 19 years old.

I did this scheiss every ^&%&*% day for 35 years....so who do you think will give you the correct info?

I spend almost as much time correcting other peeps crap info as I do typing part numbers, which 99.99999999999% of the time are CORRECT!

 

Well thank you NumberDummy for the information that 2 wd f100/150 rims will properly work on 4x4 f100/150's with the noted exception that you mentioned. The information that you have given me is very much appreciated as I am the one who opened this thread and needed information on which vehicle would offer me the rims I need to put the very small tires necessary to fit my truck in my garage for the winter.
PS no hard feelings one parts guy to another (I used to be a parts guy for Subaru)

 

So go do it already. ;)

Really. :)
Just measure what you "need" by measuring the center hole size and go to the
wrecking yard and tell 'em what you need. Do yourself a favor and go armed
with your numbers and something to measure with.

Sometimes the most knowledgeable guy can screw up once in awhile.

Just experienced that last month buying a wheel for a second spare for my
'91 F120 2wd. One guy said the hole was too big and another said it needed
to be that big. Turned out to be way too big but that's ok with me, just makes
it fit more vehicles and the only time it may ever get used might be for somebody
that's broke down on the road. LOL :)

They volunteered to mount my tire free and so I let them. I told them I wanted
to do it since I was going to "glue the sucker on ;)" to prevent bead leaks. They
offered to do that too. :)

ps- anybody else fix their own flats and mount and balance their own tires?

 

There are the narrowest I could find.

--------------------------------------------------------
D2TZ1007E .. Wheel / 16" / 5.50" bolt circle / 5.00" wide. (D2TZ-1007-E replaced B4TZ-1007-C & B4C-1015-A)

How many 1966/79 Bronco's have you seen with 2WD?

 

I took the factory white spokes of my 1978 2x4 and have them on my 4x4 at the moment and they fir just fine and are 15x6" something like should work just fine for you.I know for a fact they are 6 inches wide because I just measured them I have two spares just back from powder coating in the back of my parts room.should be very easy to get.

Now I know you will say that you meant older Thunderbirds, but you wrote" No Thunderbird

There were ( thousands) of Thunderbirds with 4 lug wheels!

"Ford never learned how to make the same part twice ;)" -my Chevy buddies

Bill the ND, do you like arguing with these buttheads? :)
If so, keep speaking in absolutes. :)

If not, learn what my Chevy buddies know and give yourself an out! :)
Ford did things just to complicate your life, on purpose. LOL:)

In high school I had a young pretty English teacher that said to write your
opinion as if it's fact... the person reading it will know it's your opinion no
reason to sound wishy washy. So... I wrote my very next History paper that
way and got a "D"! :/ I asked why I got a "D" and he said I had wrote my
opinion as if it was fact. LOL:)

I explained to him what the English teacher had told me and he changed the
grade to an "A-" right there in class. Told the English teacher what happened
and we both learned something about human nature. ;)

I'm the dumbest guy on FTE and even I know-ed that! LOL :)

Maybe I'm wrong about this but seems to me (is that wishy washy enough for
you?;) being on newsgroups or website forums is about sharing and gathering
information not so much about knowing everything about everything ahead of
time.

Alvin couldn't care less about Ford making 4 lug Tbirds in AZ
ps- all I "know;)" is my exGF's 96' Tbird was a piece of crap :/
pps- YMMV;) LOL

 

I also want to know the same thing. I have a 76 4x2 with good BFGs and just got a 78 4x4 with terrible Goodyears. SO, the 2wd wheel will fit over the 4wd hub, right? The only reason I haven't tried yet it is because the trucks are 90 miles apart.
