Dodge uses the same lug pattern, so as long as the wheel width and backspacing are ok, it should work.

Hooty, the bolt pattern is the same. However, the Ford pattern changed in late '97, early '98 to a metric bolt pattern. You'll need pre '97 Ford rims to get the proper bolt spacing. Some will say that you can go to a '99, but I've tried '98's and they won't work. The Fords have a larger center hole, it is not hub centric like the Chevy rims.

All Older Gm, Ford, Dodge, all were 8 on 6.5 the hub hole is bigger on the Ford and Dodge.
Your 16.5 tires will work, "NO SAFETY BEAD 0n 16.5 rims"

Here is a big tire on a trailer to see fitment.
on MOST 16.5" rims and all M880 rims, I have a couple sets wth the bead.
what about the m101a1 its a 5 lug will a stock civi wheel fit that ?
yes, an old school civi powerwagon wheel.
