Post by: TN_Tracker on April 26, 2005, 01:19:50 PM: I've never heard of a 7.5 " wide wheel. Are these aftermarket? The difference would be so slight I doubt if you would notice anything if the backspacing is the same.

Post by: Digger on April 27, 2005, 04:45:58 AM: I was just looking at a local 70's Bronco racer for sale, caged, no interior, sprint-style wing for a roof, etc... Anyway, it had 4 wagon wheels on it; 3 15x7.5 with small holes and one 15x8 with large hole.... what a coincidence! LOL!!!

Post by: TN_Tracker on April 27, 2005, 02:27:59 PM: My wheels came off a '79 Bronco. The later model Ford's have the same bolt pattern but the hub hole is too small. :-/
