Wheel interchangability question.
 

OK, I have stock 15" rims with 31X10.5" tires on my CJ5. I want to go
with a larger tire and was going to go with some new wheels, too. I
also have an '86 F-150 that is stock, and the tires are worn out on
it. It occurred to me that it also has 15 inch, 5-lug wheels like the
Jeep. I just measured the distance between the center of adjacent
studs on the wheels and got about 3.25" on both the Jeep and the
pickup truck. I'm thinking that if I point out to my wife how the
tires are worn out on the truck and that it won't pass inspection in
February, but that I could move the wheels/tires from the Jeep (those
tires are in great shape) to the truck that it might make it a little
easier for her to take when I tell her I'm about to drop probably over
a grand into wheels/tires for the Jeep. Since I'm lazy I don't wanna
go try to put a wheel off of the Jeep on the truck to see if it would
fit so I was wondering if any of y'all know off of the top of your
head if this would be a direct swap or not. :-P Thanks!

I believe I've seen CJ wagon wheels on a Ford before....should be a straight
bolt on.

You actually make that measurement from opposite lugs, not the next one
around. On the CJ it's called 5 X 5 1/4" pattern. And yes, I believe it is
the same pattern as a Ford 5 lug.

Re: Wheel interchangability question.
 

Bolt a Jeep wheel on the front of your Ford to test, If they are
like mine they will bind with the brake caliber. It appears the tires on
the Jeep come off the back, the Ford must come off the front.

If you are near central NJ, I might want one of your old 31s for a spare.
It would save you the disposal fee <grin>.

If you are near central NJ, I might want one of your old 31s for a spare.
It would save you the disposal fee <grin>.

Your CJ wheels will probably fit the Ford, but the Ford rims won't fit the
CJ. The offset isn't the same and they'll bind.

Oh, wait. Does your `76 have disk or drums for front brakes? If you have
drums the Fords might indeed fit.

Drums, but I don't even want to put the ford rims on the CJ so I'm not
worried about that. I was just worried about whether or not the rims
on the Jeep would work on the Ford. :-)

Re: Wheel interchangability question.
 

I don't know what the Ford has, but the Jeep has a bolt pattern that is
called 5 on 5.5. There are 5 lug bolts on a 5.5" circle. For comparison
only, the YJ and TJ use a 5 on 4.5.

Your question is, what is the bolt pattern on the Ford?

Yes, but those Real Jeep rims are real 16", not 15".

Unfortunately, they don't fit on disk brake CJs.
