1979 Ford F-100 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Ford F-100 Custom, Ranger, Ranger Lariat, or Ranger XLT needs a 5x139.7 bolt pattern. The truck rolled off the line on 15x5.5 wheels with a 14 offset. You can step up to 15x7, 15x8, 15x8.5, 15x9.15, 16x8, 17x8, or 18x8 without issues. Since your truck runs the same width front and rear, choose square or staggered setups based on your driving style and look.
All wheels must match that 5x139.7 bolt pattern—nothing else will fit. Your hub measures 87.1 millimeters, so use hub-centric rings on any wheel whose center bore exceeds that diameter to ensure proper seating. Avoid aggressive offsets that push wheels too far inward or outward; wide wheels and extreme positions risk contact with fenders and suspension components.
Every wheel we list bolts straight on your F-100 and ships free across the lower 48. We stock Carolina Forged, Icon Alloys, Vision, Black Rhino, American Racing, American Truxx, Fuel 1PC, and FULL THROTTLE—all verified for your truck.
