what cars had 15 inch steelies that are 5x4.5

Trying to upgrade my edsel from 14 to 15 inch rims does anyone know whats a good car to get them from? Its hard to find 14s that are suposed to carry the weight of my wagon used ones at least plus i think 15s look better i think my rims are 5x4.5 i used the search and google couldent find any steel wheels

 

fords mopars will work double check tie rod clearence when you mount the 15's as tire rubbing on wider rims will happen do not ask how i know

 

Think I have 2 15" on 4.5 bolt pattern

 

I have Ford Ranger steelies on my Shoebox.

 

Ford and Mopar are correct. Be careful however, because I think the lug nuts may have a different angle. Back when I was in college, I had a '55 Dodge and a '52 Ford. Depending on which was running the best, I'd move tires (and wheels) between them. The Mopars on the ford were all right, but the Fords on the Mopar always seemed to loosen up and needed constant re-tightening. Might have just been the marginal stuff I was running back then. I also remember that disc wheels from Jaguars of the day also fit.

 

Look for a late 80s up Crown Vic or Mercury Marquis. My brother did this on his 59 Ford .

 

1985 and up Chrysler Fifth Ave wheels,15x8,and the junkyard should be full of them...

mopar sqaud car wheels just try and find a set ten years ago was very difficult

 

Ford, Mopar, AMC, Studebaker.

 

I found a Crown Vic Interceptor and got a set for my '59 Edsel.
Those will accept poverty caps, standard Vics don't.
I now have them on my '62 Thunderbird.

 

my '65 Galaxie does.

 

toyota 2wd p.u. should have some to

 

Go to roadkill customs web site.

 

in the late 70s to early 80,s ford had a steel rim on the ltds that had a chevy bolt pattern be careful, double check the wheel

 

I can't believe how tough those wheels are to find.
A couple years ago I had a full set,
and just left them at the old shop when I moved.
Now they're harder to find then 16" early fords!
The early studebakers have a cool early look without the hubcap hump.

For '73 the FoMoCo fullsize (Galaxie, LTD, Marquis, Continental etc.) went to 5 on 5" until they downsized for '78-'79. The midsize and 5 lug small cars stayed 5 on 4.5"

 

Jeep Cherokee also runs a 4.5 bolt pattern. The list is pretty long but you need to measure the center hole to make sure it will fit on the Edsel hub.

 

I paid $40 for a set like this with the caps and trim rings.

 

Be sure your Edsel is 5 on 4.5 before you buy wheels. I thought Edsel had 5 on 5 like Mercury, Buick, Olds, Pontiac, Chevy and Ford wagons, Chevy full size pickups, Astro and full size vans, etc.

 

My 54 plymouth has 5x4.5 as well as most fords. Even my Car Trailers have that bolt pattern. Pretty common

 

Volvo's use 5x4.5 wheels.

 

That is correct BUT only the older models like 444 544 the Duett ("544 wagon") and the 121-123 series (Amazon)

From the 140 series and up until today they have a millimeter bolt-pattern (5X108 mm = 5X4.25 in.)

 

if they are hard to find in the US, try looking for a used set over here! Like hens teeth!!

Interesting that someone said Toyota pick up might fit though, I'll investigate that

 

This is why i love the hamb thanks guys im going to search craigslist and the local wrecking yards now that i know what to look for

 

5 bolt Dodge Dakota shold work.

SPark

 

FYI.....All '59 Edsels had 5 on 4.5, but there were '58s with 5 on 5.
