http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=39710&pictureid=498955 Hello all I bought these sight unseen advertised as 55-56 Ford wheels. New to Fords-didn't know nothin. Looks like they are actually the later 4 nub for a 1965 up whatever (Mustang)? Kelsey Canada 15x6 4.5 bolt circle 2.75 hole 4 Backspace 3 Front space (from lug mount). Will these fit OK on a 54 Club Coupe and maybe what max size/width rear tire? Not planning to run any caps.
Bring the picture up to full size, not thumbnail, right click the picture, click "copy image location". click on the icon to post picture. It will open a screen like this. Right click on the address window (http://) and paste the image location you copied from your picture, click OK. Hit enter twice to leave a space between the pictures.
The early Mustang 5 lug would have been a 14" wheel,most 1949-56 sedans were 15" X 5", 15" X 6" would most likely been from a station wagon after 1957 Ford went to 14" wheels on cars.You won't have an issue on the front with them,the shallow wheel wells on the 52-55 cars can give you fits if you go too large on tire size,what size do you have in mind? The real key is having a lot of positive offset.
I thought the 4 nubs instead of 3 and the 15x6 size stamp means a later 60s wheel ? Anyway, there is 4" of metal behind the axle pad and 3" in front of lug seat. Will probably start with a spare old 205/70 I have and try to go wider in back from there. Thanks. I will work on this image hosting thing again later.
These will actually fit on the rear because of the offset it would need spacers on the front.:http://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/pts/4236833286.html Check out this chart it might help:http://www.roadkillcustoms.com/hot-...akes=Ford&Models=CROWN+VICTORIA#axzz2okwRm8nf
