    Yesterday I was at the Pick-n-Pull and found a 93 Bird with 16x8 wheels. I pulled one off and tried to fit it on a Ranger. The bolt pattern was off by that much. I tried it on a Windstar van and it fit. When did Ford change the bolt pattern diameter?

    5 x 4.25 inch bolt pattern. I don't understand why they changed the bolt pattern? I am now looking at 93 Cobra wheels. They should fit shouldn't they?

    You will need wheel spacers 1" up front and 1.5 out back because the offset is way differant
