Question about lug nut pattern.

I have a 1984 F-150 4x4 and was wondering how to determine the lug pattern. I know it is 15in 5 lug by ???. I am looking for a set of used wheels and tires but don't know how you determine the lug pattern?

Thanks Railroadman

Most likely 5lug x 5.5.
For ease of explanation, move clockwise. Start at the center of one stud, move cw and take measurement from the third stud. You skip one stud in the middle.
Like the same way you torque your wheels, start with one and move across - either way there is one skipped between the two wheel studs used.

5 on 5 1/2" is your lug pattern.

Another cool rule of thumb if your lookin at used rims is that Dodge 5lugs and Jeep 5 lugs will swap, but not chevy.

Be careful on the Jeep. It has to be an older one. Not a Cherokee or Wrangler, they are 5 on 4.5

(i know.. off topic)
then would that mean that i could put some old military jeep wheels on? that might be a cheap way to keep tires on the front...

Any Jeep CJ rims 86 and older will fit.
