I will has a 37 rearaxle on my 32 5W coupe and use Lincon brakes.
I has bought Lincoln 41 wheels ( 5 x 16 ) but they is not at shop yet.
I sold my ( I had only 1 ) outies seats Fomoco 5 x 16.
This 37 axles is the same CC as ex a 35-41 at 59.5” but the 32-34 was 57.75”.
So diff each side from a 32 to a 37 is 7/8” more.
I can’t say if brakes std Ford to Lincoln 39-47 is the same in wideness
I will use the Firestone 7.50 x 16 tires.
I don’t know backspace on the Lincoln wheels but I has a Halibrand Solids 6 x 16 on tires now.

If I has turbine side out, that wheels has from tire wall to brake surface near 5”.
I can say that’s way deeper that the Lincoln Wheel will give me.
But even on that distance the wheels is way to far out to look nice.

-If anyone has a ex 36 axle and this type of tires and a Ford steel wheel 4-5”, can you measure both tire center CC ? ( just ruff )
Combination is rather common my guess.
