    Is there a 14" 5 x 5 1/2 wheel out there that will fit my '46 Ford ?

    These came from Solids (they are out of business) many years ago. I also had a set made for an F-1 with the stock bolt pattern. Have you tried Wheel Vintique?

    Not a stocker ... there's a '57 Imperial, but they're 6 1/2'' wide. '58 Lincoln was also a 14'' (so I've read).
    Neither would clear the steering on your Ford, tho.

    Back in '66 I had a pair made up similar to those home made ones using 13" Corvair rims mounted on a '41 Mercury front axle under the front end of my '57 Chevy wagon street g***er. Any decent wheel shop should be able to fabricate a set or you can build your own.

    Drill the rivits out of your 16 inch wheels. then find a pair of 57 thru 60 ford 14 inch wheels and drill them out. The 16 inch centers will be a perfect interference fit with a little help from a 4 pound hammer. This will make a very good reverse wheel. 45 to 50 years ago I did this a number of times. The draw back is with more wheel offset your car will be harder to stear but it will build upper arm strength. I do not know if they are still in operation but Paulsen wheels can ***emble any combo you want.. Its been over 10 years ago that I used any thing from them. Bobby

    The 61s for sure were but the bolt pattern is 5x5 not 5x5 1/2

    For many years I thought they they didnt exist. By the time I found some at a swap meet, it was getting hard to find 14" tires so I didnt buy them.
