Kelsey/hayes?

I FOUND THESE IN THE BACK OF A DELAPADATED BARN UNDER A OIL SOAKED CANVIS,the bolt pattern is 5 on 5 1/2, my question is how do I tell if there ford or chevrolet or ? the hub cap aera is bigger than a ford...

 

pics or a more accurate description would help here..
5 1/2 pattern was common on dodge/plymouth .. are they wires, or solids? did the canvas smell good? is the barn fixable?

 

can't get the pictures to down load...i'll try again later...

 

Pictures..

 

old ford wires do you know the dia/ tire size

 

......5 x5 one half are also ford rims.........pictures would help

 

.....1935 ford pickup rims?

 

They sure look like the good old bent spoke Kelsey-Hayes,,good score. HRP

 

cant you tell if the spokes are in the inner rim or not? i have a set of non bent spoke 16' wires and the inner rim does not need rim linners since the spokes are not visable inside the rim. i was told this means its not a factory wheel but for ford none the less?

 

If the Ford hub cap is too small, they could be Packard wheels. Still 5 1/2" bolt pattern but they use a larger cap. I don't know the diameters. I'm not even sure what year and model Packard. The cap that fits had a red hexagon recess in the center.

 

1962/1963 T-Bird Sport Roadster wires is my guess. The center cap should have a 3-spoke knockoff.

 

i thought the kelsey hayes style wheels that had the bigger cap was dodge?

 

They sure don,t look like 16 inch. Whats the total diameter ?

 

I'll bet those are 17 inch and Mopar. My 33 Plymouth had some just like that.

 

i agree with povertyflats up there^

 

Iv got one of those wheels, it's a 17" wire although i believe it's an early 30's studebaker wheel. Remember it's a 5x5.5 bolt pattern. There was a thread earlier that we determined what this exact wheel was. I can't remember for sure but correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Plymouths never had 5x5.5 bolt pattern.

 

What is the diameter on the hub cap hole? I think I have a pair like them.They are not Ford wheels.

 

But chrysler did! I had a stock 30 sedan with 5x5.5 hubs.

 

That makes sence, years ago a friend had a '31 Chrysler with 16 inch Ford wires.

 

Yes chryslers did! I was just talking about plymouths.....

 

The hubcap hole is approximately 6.5" wide.

 

these wheels are 16" X 4" - 5" ON 5 1/2" the cap opening is 7" other pictures can be made available...

 

so what make are they, packard, chrysler, henway....if i'm going to sell them i gotta know.....

The t-bird wheels are 14" and the bolt pattern is 5 x 4 1/2

Early - mid '30s Chrysler
