Ford's tough 1979 F-150 Custom, Ranger, Ranger Lariat, and Ranger XLT models came stock with 15x5.5 wheels sitting at 14 offset on a 5x139.7 bolt pattern. At ThreePiece.us, we verify every wheel bolts on perfectly before it ships free to the lower 48 states, so you can upgrade with confidence.
From Carolina Forged and Icon Alloys to Fuel 1PC and Black Rhino, our selection spans 15-inch through 18-inch sizes that fit your F-150's 87.1mm center bore. Whether you're after classic style or modern attitude, we have the right wheel and fitment for your vintage truck.
1979 Ford F-150 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Ford F-150 Custom, Ranger, Ranger XLT, or Ranger Lariat bolts up with a 5x139.7 pattern. The factory wheel measures 15x5.5 with 14 offset. You can step up to 15x7, 15x8, 15x8.5, 15x9.15, 16x8, 17x8, or 18x8—all compatible upgrades that maintain a square setup across the truck.
Since only 5x139.7 wheels fit this truck, confirm that bolt pattern before purchasing. The center bore sits at 87.1mm hub-centric; if your wheel's bore exceeds that, use hub-centric rings to center it properly on the hub. Wider or more aggressive offsets risk rubbing the fenders and suspension components, so stay within the compatible sizes listed.
Every wheel we list bolts straight onto your F-150 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 in stock for this truck.
