wheels

On my 1930 pickup if I wanted to run 15'' inch tires , what ford wheels would fit? Thanks

Ford pickups, until at least 1957 had 5 on 5-1/2” bolt circle. I think the pickups used that pattern for even many more years. My favorite wheels are the 1949-51 Mercury wheels, or the same year Lincoln’s. Mercury was a 5-1/2” width, and Lincoln a 6” rim width. For my A, I used a set of Mercury wheel centers and had Wheelsmith put on new rims that were better widths for the tires I was using.

In addition, F150 into the '90's, Bronco '66 to the last of the big Broncos, Jeep CJ, IH Scout I and Scout II, Suzuki Samurai and Sidekick (and their cousin the Chevy/Geo Tracker), and I'm sure others that I can't think of at the moment.

If you are still running mechanical brakes you will probably need a spacer/adapter as the later disc wheels are designed to be mounted on a flat drum. Leaving this spacer out is dangerous.

MMMMM I recall 50s Studebaker truck wheels are the same bolt pattern.
