    I was at our farm yesterday cleaning up behind the shed and found these wheels that I picked up years ago...but I don't have a clue what they are or go to. I know some of you do. They are 16" x 4.5 with a 5.5 lug spacing and have tabs for wheel cover. I almost junked them at the scrappers this morning, but pulled them out to save.

    Thank you 302GMC.
    I wondered about Lincoln, but nobody in my neighborhood was rich enough for a Lincoln.
    Must have been brought from another county.

    Second that they are Lincoln. They may actually be narrower than the standard for 4.5 also.


    Also, you can run a ford cap on them.

    So.....my next question would be..
    Does anyone run Lincoln wheels.
    I guess with Ford caps, they wouldn't look any different than a Ford wheel.
     
  7. Yes Lincoln wheels are desirable for front runners. Throw them up for sale and see what happens.

    I’ve got a set I ran on my 46’ before I switched to chrome ones. Lots of guys want the narrower wheel for the front regardless of how the cap stays on :)
