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?

The old Ford, and Dodge pickups are the same 5 on 5 1/2" as Real
Jeeps.

Re: Wheel interchangability question.
 

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

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