Go to this site, and look for anything that says 5x5.5"(139.7mm)
http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com/Vehicle_Bolt_Pattern_Reference.cfm
All Suzuki Sidekick, vitara, grand vitara
Ford Bronco 66+; F1/2 TON F-100,150 TRUCK 54-95; 1/2 TON E-100,150 VAN 70-96
Dodge Ramcharger 79-83; RAM 1/2 TON TRUCK 2 & 4WD 94+; RAM VAN 85-96; etc, etc.

Jeep CJ wheels(15x7) are a nice choice, as well as the old Bronco rims(15x7/8)

hi,

any of the OLDER Dodge/Jeep/Scout rims will work.  with these older rims you can sometimes find the 16 inch wheels with the same 5x5.5 pattern and large center openings.

 Ford rims have the same bolt pattern, but the center opening is smaller!  it won't fit without widening the centers.

I'm pretty sure that's only if the rim is from a 2wd Ford, the 4wd Fords should be okay.

i think you'll find that the older 4X4 Fords had those narrow little axle ends with those little manual hubs sticking out.  that's why the centers were smaller diameter than the other makes of the same time period.
