Bolt Pattern Charts

Would someone be so kind as to post Ford Bolt Pattern Charts with interchangeability with other Ford products? I've been all over the net searching for accurate info, to no avail. Thanks!

Re: Wheel Bolt Pattern Charts

Hi! Yes. I should have been a little clearer about it. Thanks!

Ford used 5 on 5.5" circle from 1928 models up through 1948 on cars and light commercials. 5 on 4.5" came in in 1949 for Ford cars. Pickups and larger cars like the Mercury and Lincoln used the 5 on 5.5 longer.

This isn't a chart but it has good info.

Chrysler products' wheels have the same 5 x 4.5 lug pattern.

It’s not just the bolt pattern. The 50’s fords used a smaller center hole for the hub. Early wheels may not fit on a later hub (if you buy a front disc kit using Granada disc, the hub is turned down to allow the early wheel to fit). Aftermarket wheels “mags” typically index on the lugs. Just something to be aware of. I’m not sure when the change happened.

If I remember, Ford full size cars went to the bigger center hole
in the hub, to 2 5/16 in 1968 and some time later, out to 2 3/4".
They went to a little bit bigger front bearing.

The patterns are one thing. However, I think the station wagons, and the Skyliners used a different wheel that had different charactaristics, and were stronger.

Kind of what Lanny was saying, plus more.

Station wagons historically had heavier duty rear axle assemblies than the lighter duty Ford cars. Dana 41 and 44 were used up until the Ford 9-inch came out in 1957. Police cars also had this treatment. The center holes vary depending on what rear axle they had.
