Front end units with lugs at 4 1/4" yet rear has standard 4 1/2". Is this Normal?

Hello All,
I am a new member and started a 66 coupe a year ago from ground up.
Hobby at best but getting through it....at least I get to play with tools.
Question is...found two front end units with lugs at 41/4" (5) yet my rear is the standard 5 - 41/2". Is this normal or could I have been given the fronts from a diff application?
Thanks

According to tirerack.com they are suposed to be 5 on 4.5 or 5 lug 4.5 inches apart.

Don't know if Ford ever had that bolt pattern, think that for the last 50 some years they have only had two patterns for the (5) bolt wheel.

4.25" is the early Dodge Dart patter which really makes me wonder WTF is going on? I bet somebody redrilled the hubs?

Hello.

Ditto. That's the old 'A' body Mopar set-up. You might want to consider swapping that out with Ford stuff.
