This wheel came out of car collection in Eastern Tenn. It is 16in wheel that is 5in wide. I have no idea what this wheel came on. If you anyone has a match I would be interested. Thanks for all the help. Peace.
If you can stick your head thru it and it doesn't hurt it is ford. If it hurts it's VW. Not my tech advice but that' how I remember. ...
Definintely Ford and not VW, but not the standard 36-39 car wheel, I think this is a special pickup truck one because it doesn't have the little scallops around the outside edge that make it look like an "artillery" wheel once it has the wide 5 hubcap on it. I've seen them before but I guess they're fairly rare like that, can get a bit more meat of a tire on that one.
One of fronts that came off my 3/4 truck was like that and 16".....my rears are 16" but split rims.....lucky for me I had another to make a pair....
Chris nailed it. 39-42 3/4 Ton used these wheels. One ton was 17" from 38-47, but the much rarer 39-42 3/4 ton used the above picture 16x5 "wide five" wheels. Yes, on the rear, along with 16x3-1/2" "V8-60" wheels up front with 37 Lincoln Zephyr caps.
But date on that one is December 48, is it a replacement? Never seen that style wide five before, and I love wide fives Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
I bought a set of 15" x 5-1/2" wide 5 rims from the so cal shop for my 32 dirt car while visiting in Arizona 2 years ago
I have one of those wheels, Sloppy gave it to me. It is yours if you want it. PM me, Ron Sent from my E6810 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I have a set of these which come of a Military '37 Ford Aussie ute. They are still 16 X 4 , never seen any like these before.
Not doubting what you are saying, but those look an awful lot like a set of home-built wheels I have for my vintage dirt modified.
