standard Ford 5 bolt pattern.
....and that is "What" bolt pattern?
5 bolt on 4.5" pattern, used by Ford from 1950s-1980s on pretty much EVERY passenger car and even light trucks (F100-F150) with 15" rims in many cases..
Not sure, GM and Chrysler may have used that pattern SOME but not on a regular basis which is why it IS often referred to the FORD 5 on 4.5" pattern.
That pattern eventually made it's way to trailer axles, specifically 3,500 lb trailer axles..
The fact it was used for such a long time in the automotive world makes it very inexpensive and easy to find rims for the trailer world..
New white spoke rims start out around $40 now days and can get Chromed ones for a little more.
