hello i have 1972 ford f-100, and i know a guy thats selling some aftermarket wheels that he has on his 1998 ford explorer. the wheels have two different bolt patterns will they fit on my ford f-100, i know the pattern that he is using on his explorer will not work but will the other set of holes work.

usually it is 4.5 and 4.75 on a wheel and 5.0 and 5.5 on a wheel. what does the exploder use?

[fiyaweed06]

they are 4.5 on the explorer

i know one set of holes on the wheels are 5 4.5" do anyone know what the sizes of the other holes are

Your F100 has a 5 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern on your front hubs and rear axles. Just measure, diogonally, from lug hole to lug hole to determine if these wheels will "bolt" up or not.

actually, on a 5 lug wheel you measure from the center of one lug hole to the end of the second hole over.

if i were a betting man, id say the explorer wheels will not fit. the large pattern is probably 5x4.75. you need 5x5.5 like forrestbump said.

Hello---I just became a user ofthis forum & was reading the replies to this post. If you haven't found your wheels try this site--
http://www.lmctruck.com part # 48-3563 16x8x5-w/5.5 bolt pattern. Not standard style steel but a nice wheel & the only place I've found 16" 5 hole wheels. Hope this helps.
