    Can anyone give me info on Ford wire and steel wheels in 18" dia. and 5 1/2" bolt pattern? It seems that I have heard that some Fords had optional rural wheels in that dia. Were model AA truck wheels 18"? I am looking for a pair of each for my sprintcar project. Any info helpful.
    thanks

    The '32 Ford had 18" wire wheels with a 5x5.5 bolt pattern. They were 3.25" wide if I remember correctly.

    Thanks for the info. The 3 1/2" width seem narrow for my tires. I saw in a Ford manual that some trucks used 18" X 7" wheels. Has anyone heard of those?
