Bolt pattern...need a spare

What is our bolt pattern? What other vehicles have the same bolt pattern? Don't have a spare and feel like I'm pressing my luck each time I go for a drive, and figure it's about time I get one. On the same note, anybody know where to get a holder gizmo to put it where it goes under the bed? Thanks,

Brian

I used wheels from a one ton Ford van on my 91 that fit just fine. Trim rings didn't fit very good though, so I left them off.

My buddy apoc had a couple old rims in his shop , one was the spare for his 93 , and the other was supposed to be an old ford rim, we tried to put them on last night, to do some burnouts , and the ford rim would not go over the hub... a few minutes and a blue tip wrench fixed that though...

The Ford should have fit.

If it had to be torched, I bet it was a Chevy, or maybe a trailer rim.

I know for the 4x4's ford 8 lug rims should fit from back in the 1960's to about 98' the year before the super doody came out. Probably same for 2x4's. For the 4x4's 8 lug 6.5 bolt circle with 5-1/8" bore minimum.

I had a set of 16.5"x 9.75" Ford rims on my truck for a while. The bolt pattern was the same, but I did have to open up the hub hole a little bit. The fronts fit fine, but the rears had to be modified. I know that they came off of a 80's F-350. I thought that all the Ford hubs were a little smaller than the Dodge's?

Don't know if it holds true for other than 1st gen trucks, i know stomp ran mid 90's ford accuride rims and some one else on here has some old 19.5 ford bread truck rims from probably the 50's, bolt on like they were made for it. If the donor vehicle has larger than a dana 70 then it's anybodys guess.
