RE: IML: Imperial wheel bolt patterns

["bill parker" <hemirr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The standard 2WD Ford pickup wheel, and the 80's Dodge 4WD 1/2 ton pickup 
wheel, have the right bolt pattern but the center hole is too small to fit 
over the hub register.  I've tried both of those myself, and bolted them on 
for loading onto trailer, etc, but not of course for driving.  I have not 
tried the 4WD Ford pickup wheel but have heard that it does have a large 
enough center hole... Also, my car trailer, 18' flatbed, used the Ford 
pickup wheel, and I get to thinking how a spare set of Imperial wheels would 
look so much cooler on it, so I guess there is another place that such 
wheels may have gone in the past.
