I think they were 15x5 with a 3.5 center hole. I just want to verify that this is correct.

the rim is takes a 15 inch tire. it is 5 1/2 wide from inside to inside. thet are five lug that are spaced 5 1/2 apart when measuring them across. i do not know the center size. 15x5x5 1/2. ford did make a car rim that had the same 15x5x5 1/2 butthe center was smaller. they will fit on the front of our trucks but not onthe back because of the rear axle hub that sticks outof the brake drum. i'm sorry i couldn't be more help than that.

How in the world did you get your wife to go out and measure your wheels? My wife would have gave me a dumb look and told me to get dressed and do it yourself. :lol:
