Try 49-50 Ford Cars, some were 16", most were 15". Also 40-50s Mopar might work for you.

Hudson and Nash too. Also later model space saver spares if you are looking for narrow rims.

Willys trucks and jeeps cj2A had 16" rims with that pattern. Only thing different was the hole in the center was bigger to accomodate the big hubs but same as early ford pattern.

They were skinny took a 600X16 tire.

I have 16" wheels on my '63 Mercury Comet. They are the spare wheels from (4) '99 explorers. They are the same as the crown vic wheels but easier to find around here. I also used 2000 crown vic center caps from a police car or taxi.

It looks like a fairly wide wheel, that might be perfect. I'll have to go to the local junk yard with a tape measure now!

mrloboy · October 29, 2007, 06:47:55 PM

Trev, what width are you looking for? What are you putting them on? I have a set of '34 Dodge wheels with that bolt pattern and are an "artillery" looking style and are 16", but they are only about 4" wide. Any good to you? Give me a call. Rick
