69 F100 4x4 wheel question

Post by Doc Nash »

I have a 69 F100 4x4 and am looking to change the wheels. Currently I think it sits on Ram 1500 5-lug rims and would like to swap them out. The issue is the center bore. Not sure what my front hub bore is or even how to measure it.

well it's dark and snowy here so all I can measure is the lock out.
It's roughly 3 1/4 inches and the wheel has some slop going over it.
The bolt spacing is 5 on 5 and a 1/2 the same from the 40's thru 1996.
old Jeeps ,Scouts and some Dodges have it also.
The aftermarket wheels have a big center hole to fit over the Jeeps and others.
I think Dodge may have a smaller hole than Ford , which is smaller than Jeep.
So almost any 5 on 5 1/2 will work.
I hope that helps.
