There were some F100s that had a 5x4.5" pattern, I though it was only the 80-83 F100 economy models though.

5x5.5 from at least 1948 to 1996. The standard steel wheel changed from time to time, but the bolt pattern didn't.

Some of the 1980-1983 F-100's had the 5x4.5, depending on GVWR and if they had Power or standard brakes.

5X 5.5 is correct, and were found on Fords, some goats, and some Jeeps 60s & 70s.

The 80-83 F100 was different chassis & below, than the 80-83 F150 that ran the 5X5.5 wheels.


fuzzin aint it?
