Are these “widow maker” wheels?

After posting the above it hit me that there is a hiccup that would limit the use of these wheels. So I’ll add a qualifier. These wheels have a 4 5/8” center hole which won’t clear a stock Timken 51524 rear hub. They work fine on a front hub. The stock Ford has a 4 13/16” center hole. Stu
