stock steel wheels?

Hey guys anybody know if and how much of a differance in stock steel Dodge wheels and stock steeles of an early 80's ford. I haven't taken the effort to pull a wheel to check backspacing issues but i am going to guess there will be none. My truck has aftermarket alloys with JUNK tire on it and i just happen to have a set of ford wheel with almost new rubber in my collection of stuff.

THANKS
JON

They should fit, I have aftermarket steel, used to be white, 5 spoke wheels that were on a mid 80's ford. You just have to be carefull of wheels that come off of newer trucks, and chevy's

8 lug ford rims off the 97 and ealier 3/4 and 1 ton trucks should fit no problem. I've run them without issues, though the hole for the stud is alittle bigger for the fords 9/16" studs vs. 1/2" studs on the dodge.
