Lame question - how wide are '55 Ford stock wheels?

Five inches? Six? Anyone know for sure? Trying to figure out what to order from Wheels Vintique.

Thanks in advance -

 

Truck?

 

It might get me lynched since it's from one of the "other" sites, but here's a nice illustrated write up about early FoMoCo steelies... Helped me figure out exactly what one I needed, couldn't figure it out on my own.

stock tire size was 6.70X15 so maybe the rim guys can give you a more specific info

 

Hey thanks - that was a great thread, even if it wasn't on the HAMB. Here is what I found there, if anyone cares:

"Normal 49-56 Ford wheels were 15x5 with a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. Their hubcaps were outside knob which means the knobs are on the inside of the hubcap and on the outside of the center of the wheel. The hubcap that these wheels took measured 10 1/8 accross the back. From 49-52 Ford offered a 16x4.5 as an option, same bolt pattern and hubcap. From 49-51 the 6-cylinder cars came with 15x4.5 and from 52-56 the station wagons had 15x5.5 wheels on them, both same bolt pattern and hubcap. The 49-51 Mercurys had 15x5.5 wheels with a 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern. The hubcaps were bigger than normal Ford hubcaps. I'm not exactly sure of what size the hubcaps are, but it's something like 11", but they are still outside knob caps. 49-51 Lincolns also had 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern, but were 15x6s. They also had wheel covers instead of hubcaps. They had little bumps on the rim to hold the wheel cover on. "
