Ford wide five vs VW wide five wheels?

Are the Ford and VW/Porshe wide five wheels the same bolt pattern?

Sure looks the same.

Thanks

 

Nope, had both in the shed at once, they don't look so close when side by side, the Aussie FJ holden pattern is different too.

Outback

 

Nope... the Ford pattern is much larger.

VW - 5 x 205mm (approx 5 x 8")

Wide Ford - 5 x 10.25"

 

I've lead a sheltered life. WTF are "wide 5's"? Thanks -Mike

 

Ford bolt patteren from '37 to '39. Blots were at the outer edge of the brake drum.

 

I had a set of them on the original 36 Ford that I started with. I wouldn't be surprised if they were on 35s as well.

 

They were not on '35s. For a test, you can put your head through a Wide-Five. If you try that with a VW you will hurt yourself. Wayno

 

Sorry, had my head my up ass....... '36 to '39, but NOT '35.

 

However, Stock Car wide 5's are the same old Ford pattern

 

Wide fives...

 

big mike -------- wide fives for vw's were on all pre '66

 

Make that pre-68

 

Thanks Kirk. The descriptions weren't getting thru my skull. Pictures work every time! -Mike

 

Im not 100% sure, but i think the english fords, anglias and prefects were the same pattern as VW!

 

very close but not quiet ,, I have both tried to put some nice wide vw wheels on my ford 100e based modified ,,,the wheels would go on but the nuts wouldnt centre in taper,,,,
i'm sure people have run this combo before as it is that close,, but not close enough for me to sleep at night
