I’m working on a 65 4WD. F100. At some time in its life, the rear axle was switched and a F250 8 lug 3/4 ton axle was installed.
Want to dress up the old chrome wheels and replace.
Tires are 235 75 R15’s.
I need a good source that sells nice looking rims for these tires but they need to match because the fronts are 5 lug and back are 8 lug.
What are your recommendations or a source that can sell the same rims in 8 and 5 lug?
Thank you.

I think that's going to be a hard one. Even finding 15" wheels for the 8 lug rear might be difficult.

Re: Wheels - need to upgrade
I had to switch rear axles and no longer have the Dana 60. Back to all 5 x 5.5 spacing. Might give me more options now with wheel choices once I figure out offset and backspacing for the front and rear.
Any recommendations? would like to add a little color to this truck to give this faded Marlin Blue a little mores snap. Tom

Re: Wheels - need to upgrade
5 x 5.5 makes it easy. Bronco, F100, F150, 2wd and 4x4 up through 1996. Jeep CJs up through 1986 (and IH Scouts) are also 5 x 5.5 but the center hole is larger. Most aftermarket wheels where made to fit Ford or Jeep so the center hole is larger.
