Default Re: 46 ford wheels-16" for 15"

A word of caution on 15" wheels for early Fords.. The '47-48 Merc wheels were 15", they will usually be narrow, in the 4.5" range... The Ford F-100 wheels through 1966 will be a direct fit for the older Fords, '40-48. The pickup wheels will generally be a heavier type of wheel, 5.5" or 6.0" inches wide, a good thing and they are made for tubeless tires.. Just because a guy tells you the wheels came off of a pickup does not mean spit.. You have to measure them, I have seem more than one 60's model pickup with miss matched wheels which had stock type hub caps.
