1979 Ford Bronco Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Ford Bronco Custom or Ranger XLT needs a 5x139.7 bolt pattern wheel. The factory setup runs 15x6 with an 18mm offset. You can upgrade through 15-inch widths up to 15x10, or step up to 16-inch, 17-inch, or 18-inch diameters in compatible widths. Since this truck isn't staggered, you have flexibility across all axle positions.
Keep in mind that only 5x139.7 wheels will fit your Bronco's hub. The center bore measures 87.1mm—use hub-centric rings if your chosen wheel has a larger bore to ensure proper seating and balance. Aggressive widths or extreme offsets can interfere with suspension and fender clearance, so verify your specific setup before ordering to avoid rubbing issues.
Every wheel we stock for your Bronco bolts on correctly 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 have fitments ready to ship.
