So I recently had an issue with some lug nuts working loose on my 46 ford pickup. Ruined the tapers and wallered out the holes. Went digging through my stash of wheels, only to find every other 16 inch ford wheel I had was much narrower than what's on my truck. Any clue what these are? How screwed am I?
Ford used those wheels with the "innie" hubcap bumps on pickups up to 66 in both 15 and 16 inch. The 16's are a little harder to find, I have some here, whats the width?
Interesting, my 16's are 5", came on this truck. Mercs and Lincoln used similar, but I don't know the widths.
I have washers designed to repair those wheels . Want me to locate 5 for you ? TIG weld them in and wheel is good to go
Thats a good idea, not sure if the early, more common centers have the exact same shape...but you're thinking!
I have some original centers from 16" for sale in the cl***ifieds. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/early-ford-wheel-centers.1342919/
