What size wheel do I need

[kharper01]

I have a 1968 Ford Bronco that i have been fixing up. However, I am confused on what size wheels to purchase. The stock wheels show a five bolt pattern but I have been told that I need a 5x5 pattern or a 5x4.5 pattern, any ideas or can anyone forward information on where I can purchase nice wheels for the bronco.

I think you want 5 on 5.5

 

[bronko69er]

Yep, 5x5.5".

Welcome to the board!
Got any pics of your 68?
You can host them offsite and post links or become a contributor and upload directly.

Welcome kharper01. LOTS of new folks joining the festivities..

16x8 or 16x10's depending how big and wide, what size tires?
5x5.5 bolt pattern
3.75 inch back spacing

And welcome to the Bronco familly

5 on 5.5" bolt pattern.
3.75" to 4" backspacing.

If your Bronco is uncut, you don't want to go wider than 7" or 8".

15" or 16" diameter is your choice.

American Racing makes nice wheels (Baja) that look great on EB's.

The size of the tires are LT315/75/16. thanks

Thats a 35 inch tire
You will need a 3.5 inch lift, and have to cut the rear 1/4 panel

16x8 with a 3.75 backspacing would work good for those

The problem there are not a lot of 16x8 inch wheels with the right back spacing, though if you search there are a few

I just got 5 of these for my 68

they are American Eagle Series 058...
- 15x10
- offset: -46 mm
- backspacing: 3 5/8 inches

I plan on 33"x12.5"x15" BFG All-Terrain T/As on em...

Anyone see any fitment issues there with a 3.5" lift?

[NYLES]

[fordguy]
