    Looking to get some aftermarket wheel for my 61 econoline . I have standard 14 inch wheels on it now . I found some rims on eBay they are American torq thrust 2 . It says the bolt pattern is 5x4.5 and backspacing is 4.0 . Not for sure if that will work . Does anybody know what the bolt pattern is ? What aftermarket wheel are on yours ?

    That's the correct pattern. Stock offset is zero. I'm not sure off hand how much you can go without interference.

    search here, LOTS of wheel posts.
    Giving the backspace without the width is useless.

    Do your self a favor and paint the back of the new cragars with a rust stop type paint. once you mount them you will never clean the back side of them, And that is where the rust will start.
