F150 wheels on classic bronco?

[fitpays]

despite a search, i am still unsure on this. does any one know if the offset and everything will work if i try to put f150 wheels on my 1971 bronco? i believe the bolt pattern is the same at 5x5.5, but i am not sure if anyone if doing this. help me out if you can. pics would be good if anyone has done it.

thanks.

which wheels and what year F-150 are you referring to? there's lots of different styles. it's been done many times though.

I have 93 FSB/F-150 styled steel wheels on my 74 Ranger. They fit just fine. The backspacing is a little less than stock EB rims (about 1 inch I think) so you'll get some rubbing with 31's and maybe even 30's on a stock unlifted and uncut EB.

not too sure what year f-150. i was just trying to expand the possibilities i have some brand new classic lock mickey thompsons that i was saving for my '68 project. maybe i will just use them for now and switch them out when the 68 is done.

thanks guys!

Pre '96 wheels are the same. Post '97 are a funky metric pattern that is wrong. The offset/backspacng is correct. The centering hole in the wheels should be correct as well if you want hubcentric wheels instead of lugcentric wheels. Ford wheel bolt pattern/backspacing hasn't really changed since the 50's(?), that was until '97 anyway.

Actually the late '20s, I have bolted 1/2-ton Ford truck rims onto my dads 1929 Model-A with no problems.

these came off of a '96. Clear fine with spacers due to the 76-77 inverted y tierod set up.
