    Was there ever made a 15" widefive wheel for the 36-39 axles? with all the smal windows around the center? I`ve seen the stock centers cut down and welded to 15" rim but it did away with the windows.. any ideas?

    Thanks.

    You should be able to take the rivets out and put the centers in a 15" rim and keep the windows.
    I have some centers I was planning to do this with and some rims that would work.
    I'll check it out later and see what I come up with.

    You will have to machine a 16" center down to be welded in a 15" rim. There are two choices in 15" rims. OEM rims have an inside dimension of 13.25", aftermarket rims inside demension is 12.625. I use oem rims because you can keep a large majority of the windows and they look good. PM me with an email address and I will send pics.
