    Did all 36 p***enger cars come from the factory with wide 5 wheels instead of the 5 1/2" bolt pattern wheels?? Are all wide 5 wheels the same width and backspace? thanks

    Yes, no. All Fords '36-'39 used wide 5 16" wheels, but they are not all the same width. Most are 4", some (V8-60s) are 3 1/2", some (3/4 ton trucks) are 5". I am told that there are some wider and some 15", but I have never seen them.

    The p***enger car wheels all have the scalloped/bottlecap/piecrust/artillery spoke centers; the 3/4 ton has a center with small annular slots like a '40 wheel.
