    Hi, does anyone know if wheels are available to fit the early Ford wide 5 pattern with a 15" x 4.5" rim?

    Thanks, Hemi Joel

    I don’t think so, but I’m no expert. I have one 15” x 6”, but they are very rare. Most are 16” x 4” IIRC.

    Dirt track stuff can be had in 15", but it looks like dirt track stuff.

    Lug bolt holes on Dirt track stuff are normally 5/8 inch too.

    I built a set of wider wide fives. After I took the center out I cut a piece of wood that fit inside the hoop. I went to my local u pull it and started going through all the wheels until the wood piece fit. Granted I kept the 16” size but maybe there’s a 15” that you could do the same with.

    1996-2001 Chrysler minivan steel wheels are 16 x 6-1/2". They are a perfect press fit.

    Could you build one from VW hoops?
