15 inch wheel w/ 4.5 ? bolt pattern

Post by Dr B Smith »

Image

This is a 15 inch rim, which is the spare rim/tire for the my Squire.

I am assuming that the original rims on the car were just like this. I am assuming also that the bolt pattern is 4.5 inch?? I measured from the middle of one bolt hole across where the other hole would be. Is this the correct way to measure the bolt pattern? Its a dumb question, but I want to make sure I get the right rims.

Also, anyone know where I could find 3 more rims like this one??

Thanks guys.

if they are 5 on 4.5, I think a newer Jeep Wrangler, and Ford Ranger wheels should fit, depending on backspacing.

60's and 70's full size Chrysler products also used that same pattern.You would have to check backset though. :)

The OEM rims were 5.5 wide. I am not sure if the .5 width difference matters. I am interested if they fit! PM me pics of them and a price.

I'll try to get to them this week, they may be 5.5's depending how they are measured from the factory, I'll take a pic of the actual measurement. Shoot me an email at My427stang@cox.net if you dont hear from me, work is crazy this time of year
