Find the perfect set for your Bronco without guessing—every wheel is guaranteed to fit.
1978 Ford Bronco Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1978 Ford Bronco Custom, Northland, or Ranger XLT uses a 5x139.7 bolt pattern with an 87.1mm hub-centric center bore. The stock setup is 15x5.5 with an 18mm offset. You can go wider and taller—15x10, 15x6 through 15x8, or step up to 16-inch wheels in 7 to 8-inch widths—all bolt right on without modification.
Since only 5x139.7 fits this Bronco, verify any wheel choice carries that exact bolt pattern before ordering. The 87.1mm center bore is hub-centric; if your wheel's bore runs larger, use hub-centric rings to center it properly. Pushing too wide or too aggressive on negative offset invites rubbing at the fender or suspension, so choose wisely when stepping up from that narrow 15x5.5 stock wheel.
Every wheel we stock for your Bronco bolts on and ships free to the lower 48 states. Carolina Forged, Icon Alloys, Vision, Black Rhino, American Racing, American Truxx, Fuel 1PC, and FULL THROTTLE all carry fitments ready to ship.
