? wheel bolt pattern

What is the most comman wheel bolt parten everyone uses 4 1/2 or 4 1/4 my wheel on the front will have to be 4 1/4 that the bolt pattern that my truck has now but we are going to build the rearend and going to have to buy axles.

Thanks Jim

4.5

Your truck should have 5x4.5 unless you changed the suspension. If not Moser will redrill them for $60/pr. 4 1/4 only was used on newer Lincolns, Thunderbirds, and Cougars

I will recheck them what do yall think about this axle kit good or bad is the price about right

Thats around what I paid from Moser

thanks going to order my 4-link and get my rearend under it for I can get the right width so I can get the right length on the axles before ordering it.

Hey, Jim:
For what it's worth, you can do a lot better with Moser! I ordered a pair of custom length axles for a 9" Ford rear last Friday, and they were on my door step on Tuesday morning - GREAT service, and the price was right - $478.30! That's for two axles, bearings, screw in studs, retainers, AND shipping. Great service, great price, and great product! The most common Ford bolt pattern is 5 lug on 4 1/2 "


I'm not affiliated with Moser Engineering in any way - just my experiance and opinion!

I like Moser as well but the link he posted includes the spool too.

Yeah, I thought about that as well - but in none of his posts does he mention wanting to use a spool. Not a good idea on the street. Maybe he will give us more info about his plans and usage.

Wayne it is for my ranger I am building for drag racing only and yes I am going with the full spool 9'' ford narrowed.

An yes my ranger does have the 4.5 bolt pattern I was wrong on the 4.25 bolt pattern thats for pointing that out.

Yes the standard Ford bolt pattern is 5 on 4.5 but for what its worth your choice of used wheels and the resale value of any take-offs may be better with the other more common brand's 5 on 4 3/4.. Might be sacrilege to some but it dont matter a hoot what pattern you use when its all said and done on a deal like that.

Bosshoss I was looking for some used wheels you are right the 4.75 are the more comman out there in the used dept. but I just like to keep the same bolt pattern on the front and back.I know it don't really matter but I am a ford person and like to keep everything in ford specs as possible when I can but the next trans I have to buy will be a power glide for it.I just wish ford would have came out with a power glide instead of chevy I don't care for chevy but that is just me.

Ford did build the power glide but sold it to chevy minny yrs ago.
