Customs Steel wheels for my 40 Ford

Looking for 14 & 15 in 5X 5 1/2 wheels . Anyone know of anything that will fit

Trying to avoid the "big dollar" versions at the classic wheel & tire sellers

Tks Gents

 

ford 1/2 ton pickups up to 66. same wheel, 15" x 5, or 5 1/2. a little heavier

 

I think there were 14" 5.5 bp wheels on Chryslers and maybe Lincolns way back when. 14" tires are a little tough to find. Little 15" tires are easier. Big and little 15" is usually the way to go. What will they be going on?

And, if you don't care about your 40 hubcaps, ford 1/2 ton wheels way into the 80's

 

Most f 150 to 97

 

How wide?

 

Apparently, the OP has left the building

 

Still here
Ths for your reply Gents
Wondering if maybe early Bronco may fit as well????

Not yet sure about the width....
Have to see what I can come with as far as wheels

Can't say the year but 15 x 5-1/2 off a Ford F100 early 70's I think. And I would use the one that I hadn't cleaned up and painted the inside of the wheel on back a few months ago.

 

Yeah, really, ford used the 5 on 5 ana half for about 6 decades. it comes down to what hubcaps you want, or what off set

 

I have Dodge pickup wheels on the back of my car with a 5 1/2 inch bolt circle.

........Thanks, Jack. Lots of great info there.............Don.

 

WoW !! Great info here Gents.
Tks for the chart Jack
Now I know what to look for

 

Anyone happen know the width of the ford 1/2 ton PU wheels?
Tks

 

What year? many decades of em. what hubcap are you trying to use?

 

I'd like to use a button cap & trim rings
Wondering which year PU wheel is 8 in width

 

No idea what a button cap is. We refer to the cap mounts as "innie", or "outie" . your 40 caps mount on bumps on the inside of the hub center, same innie bumps to 66 on pickups, after that they are outies, bump to hold the cap on the outside. trim rings generally fit on any rim the correct diameter. why not tell us what you want to do, and the answer may be simple

 

I just bought 15x7, 5x5-1/2 bc, early Ford hubcap, from Summit for $80 with FREE shipping.
Made by USWheel.
It’s their 544 Roadster series, also made in 15x8


Here’s another option: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/make-your-own-steelies-can’t-be-this-easy.1211950/

I have two 15x8 that I won’t be using. They’re IH, 5x5-1/2, take early Ford cap.
If you’re interested PM me.

 

Feel free to throw lug nuts at me if I'm off a bit here, but 58 thru I think 60 Lincoln were 14". Weird, I know, but in my youth dear ol Dad always wanted to run 14" wheels on this 1 truck, and we got them off of a 59 Lincoln, the big fuckers, got 2 from that one and 1 and a spare from another. The yard was in Taylor, MI, Hiway Auto Parts. I was maybe 12 when he did this and helped him at the scrap yard to get the wheels. Come to think of it, now I have to open my Hollander and see. You guys...

 

Interesting, I have a 14'" smoothie and I never knew what it came off of. Not very wide though, still has a rotten old tire on it

 

OK My "button caps" and your "innies" are the same. Mounts to the bumps on inside of hub center.

 

Ok, here it is from my 55-65 Hollander interchange manual:

Heres a list of sort for 5 1/2 bolt circle wheels, even as small as 13"

 

Spent a lot of time at HiWay auto parts, it was a muddy ole place.
