* 5x5.5" (5 on 5.5 inches): This was a very common pattern.
* 5x4.5" (5 on 4.5 inches): Less common but possible, especially depending on optional wheels.
To find out definitively:
1. Check the wheels directly: Look at the wheel itself. The bolt pattern should be clearly visible.
2. Check your owner's manual: If you have the original owner's manual, it will specify the lug pattern.
3. Check the spare tire: The spare tire will have the same lug pattern as the other wheels.
4. Consult a Ford parts website: Input your Bronco's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) into a reputable Ford parts website. This will often provide the correct specifications.
Without further information about your specific 1978 Bronco, it's impossible to say for certain which lug pattern it has.
