Hi There, I was wondering if anyone knows what Kind / Size /Offset Ford 15" wheels fit 1952 Buick Deep Dish Hubcaps? I have a 1950 Ford that I am putting them on and need to find some wheels that will work. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks In Advance, Tom
You could explore reversing your existing wheel centers. Measure carefully first, they may not have enough offset to do the job. As for a replacement wheel, I'd look at '79 up to about '90 fullsize Ford car. edit: also, torino/t-bird in the mid-late seventies have 15" w/ 4.5 bolt circle and are, I think, fairly deep set. Ray
I recently had this very problem - my '50 Ford - stock wheels - '56 Olds hub caps bought off Ebay - I had no idea they wouldn't fit - got pissed - hung them up in the garage for a week - looked on Ebay again - got pissed again 'cause everything I wanted looked like they won't fit - so I grabbed the Olds caps and laid it on a couple of 2x4's and with a rubber hammer hit the center until it was all pushed out! WOW did they look cool and fit pertect too. Later I was looking at some kustom car pictures and saw a picture of Larry Watson's G****vine and he had done the very same thing to the Olds caps he put on the car, but he added some stuff and some paint too. I added some paint to mine after the picture.
