I have some rims at the shop that are GM from the downsized 80's to 90's FWD cars that are 5 x 4.5 inch bolt circle. So be careful when thinking all GM wheels are 5 x 4.75 inch. The GM 5 x 4.5 inch wheels will fit Ford, but are more positive and can hit the calipers on the front causing fitment issues. | I have some rims at the shop that are GM from the downsized 80's to 90's FWD cars that are 5 x 4.5 inch bolt circle.

Also the Jeep 5 x 4.5 will fit Ford. The Jeep OEM steel wheels are usually in expensive as they are usually discarded due to upgrades by the Jeep owners. I have a set on my 1976 Granada blacked out with chrome trim rings, and they were stock 8 inch wide.--[[User:Foperfoauto|Foperfoauto]] 20:20, 26 June 2016 (MDT) | Also the Jeep 5 x 4.5 will fit Ford.

:Thanks for adding this info. Those mid- to late-'80s GM wheels are 5 x 115mm, works out to just over 4.5" (4.527").
