EDIT EDIT Found a set of rims off a 79 Bronco bolt pattern is same according to what I've read centerbore is 86.7 on bronco rims and only 77.8 on my 89 dodge w150. Is that a big deal? I do regularly load it up but is a 2wd and i stay on road. I see they make inserts for the centerholed but havent seen any that fit this combo. Anybody use ford truck rims on this era truck? They are just the 15" wagon wheels but at 30 bucks for the set would like to give them a go. Thanks again
I have an 89 2wd Dodge w150 with 15" rims. I have found a set of 16" factory aluminum rims off of a 2001 2wd 1/2 ton truck. I have searched moparts and web went to tire rack site etc... a few times and cant find a definitive answer. From what I've found is I believe they are both 5x5.5" bolt pattern but i dont know about center bore and offset(sites I found dont have info of 2001 16 inch alum rims yet). They are about an hour drive away so hoping to get some answers here. Thanks

No, it's simple...Use a 5 x 5.5 to 5 x 5.5 spacer. It does two things: 1. Moves the wheels out where they look good, and 2. Removes the need to machine the centerbore.
I've got a set of the chrome 16s on my $500 ford pickup and they look pretty good. You can get four spacers for around $100.
Don't do it if you regularly overload the truck. I use my truck for getting places. The most it carries is a 700lb engine.

I put a set on my 88 from a 94+,after machining the center they fit fine,ran 245/60/16 all around,never rubbed. I am thinking of selling to fund other items.
