Default Lightning rims

Does anybody know if the wheels off of a newer lightning will fit onto a 92 f150. thinking of makin an old school lightning with a supercharged 5.0 and lightning emblems and the wheels would just finish off the truck.

Depends on what size studs you have. Measure your wheel studs and post up what you find out, then we can figure out which wheels you can run. Bolt pattern should be the same, it's just there's two different stud sizes used on Lightnings.

Bolt pattern on a 92 F150 will be 5x5 1/5 and 97 up F150s are 5x135mm.It can be done, but you will have to change your bolt pattern.

Ya know, I didn't even think of that. You'd have to run adaptors. You're pattern is 5-139 where as ours is 5-135.

You can get pretty slim adaptors. They will probably push them out some, but it's all gonna depend on how thick of an adaptor you get. Did you get the PM I sent you?
