Ford 5x5 wheels??

[derol]

I got a set of (what I was told) were stock early bronco 5x5.5 wheels from a guy, went to put them on and the lug pattern was too small. They look bone stock ford, and the guy swore he took them off a bronco. So, my question is, does anyone know of a ford of that era that had 5x5 pattern? Even the tires on the rims were 235x75.... Just weird.

Cars were the smaller pattern.

Bronco II maybe?

Fullsize FoMoCo passenger cars '73-'78 use the 5" pattern, and a lot of GM's, including 2wd trucks.

Most Ford cars were 4-1/2" as well as Ranger/Bronco II/Explorer.

Exactly right. Not one of Ford's better ideas. After '78 the full size cars went back to 5x4 1/2"

Never heard of the full size car 5" bolt circle Fords. Learn something new every day.
I only knew of the GM 5" bolt circle cars.

What? You never tried to fit a set of slotted dish mags on a '76 LTD Brougham?

Trying to triple the value of that car?

Lincolns of the era used the 5x5.
