While replacing the wheel of one vehicle, often car owners try to fit a rim from another vehicle. It will only be feasible when you match both wheels’ compatibility.
So, will 5, 6, 8 lug chevy rims fit Ford?

And you can use the 2010-2014 Chevy Suburban 2500 8-lug rims in the 2003-014 Ford E-250.

| 2001 to 2012 Ford Escape | 5×4.5 | High | 67.1 |
| 2013 to 2022 Ford Escape | 5×4.25 | High | 63.4 |
| 1975 to 1996 Ford F-150 | 5×5.5 | High | 87.1 |
From the 5-lug Chevy wheels, the lug pattern of the 2017 to 2020 Equinox, 2005 to 2013 Impala, and the 2010 to 2016 Malibu are almost similar to the lug pattern of various models from Ford.
These models are, from 1986 to 1997 Ford Aerostar, 1984 to 1990 Ford Bronco II, 1992 to 2011 Ford Crown Victoria, 2007 to 2014 Ford Edge, and 2001 to 2012 Ford Escape.
So, we can shortlist them. But we have to consider the offset and center bore as well. All the models have high offset, which matches the compatibility.
Now come to the center bore. You can fit a smaller center bore where a larger one is required. In this case, you have to use a wheel spacer. But mounting a larger center bore is not a good idea.
The Center bore of all these Ford models is larger than the Chevy center bore except for the 2007 to 2014 Ford Edge and 2001 to 2012 Ford Escape. So we eliminate the Edge and the Escape.
The 2018 to 2020 Chevrolet Traverse and 2021 to 2022 Ford Bronco Sport have similar lug patterns but here, the center bore of the Chevy is larger than the Ford one, so they won’t fit.
Other models of Chevy lug pattern with 5 lugs don’t match with any other models of the Ford that are mentioned in the table above.
In conclusion, the following Chevy wheels with 5 lugs will fit the following Ford models.
| Chevy | Compatible Ford |
| 2017 to 2020 Equinox, 2005 to 2013 Impala, 2010 to 2016 Malibu | 1986 to 1997 Aerostar, 1984 to 1990 Bronco II, 1992 to 2011 Crown Victoria. |
Please note that not all car models are mentioned here. Other Chevy models will also fit the Ford model if these factors are compatible.
Here’s a thing, after matching the rim size, don’t forget to install a tire that is compatible with the rim you are using. For example, a 15” tire will go with Crown Victoria but a 20” tire might not.
