    I has Ford 40 4” x 16” in fronts and think I will use the Firestone 4.50.
    Rear I found here one Lincoln 5” x 16” but seller said it was a Lincoln but to my knowledge thet had 3 clips but this has 3 knobs. ( he said some Lincoln had clips, some not ) but I think its a Merc wheel ( se pic )
    Cool to has a Lincoln but the one I got match the fronts better.
    -Any idea what wheel I has ( as I need a other one )
    If anyone has a nice wheel over = post me.

    I will use 7.50 Firestones.

    -Yesterday I learned a new thing... revese the rear wheels.
    I think its was cool look !
    My style is late 40’s.
    Any ideas ?
