Dyn Blin Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I asked Gary a question earlier that he encouraged me to post here for the other greener-horn Bullnose riders: I've been looking for another set of wheels, originally thinking I would put on a set of studs and hold them in reserve for the odd Tahoe weekend, but as I've been watching the ads on Craigslist & eBay, I've started looking for a daily set that is more true to the original style. I found these a few miles away. I know the 5x 5.5 lug bolt pattern will match, but asked Gary if I needed to consider back spacing/offset or center bore between the bullnose generation & Gen 9 series stock wheels. To the bigger question- are there any limitations to 15" OEM wheel swaps between F150 years up to '97? Here are the 3 I'm picking up today- looking for 2 more to make a complete set plus spare...

Rembrant Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 What year trucks did those wheels come on? I have a set that came on my truck when I bought it...but I know that my truck did not originally have them. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the page on Driveline/Wheels those are Type 9's and were available in 1980 and '81. And you should be able to confirm what you have by the code stamped near the valve stem if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevins750 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 (edit) Thanks for the resource Gary I had a 1990 ranger and a 95 f150 4x4 both bought new and those were the factory wheels, the ranger in 5x4.5 of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
