I read somewhere on here that Ford used hub-based rims [the stability of the rim mounting resting mainly on the hub instead of the lugs.]
They'd be good lookin on a Pinto, but will it fit?
I'd look into the backspacing and clearences..et c..etc.. before makin an offer. Can't help ya any if it gets home & won't fit..I made that misteke with a '71 2.0 intended for my '75 Runabout.
