1938 Ford factory rim size and back spacing
What was the factory rim size and back spacing on a 1938 Ford wide five rim? and how would that compare to the 5x5 1/2 rim of the 39 Ford

1938 and 1939 rims are the same;
standard for 85hp passenger car was 16 x 4 (68-1015-A). Tire size is 6.00 x 16 for both 1938 and 1939 |

Re: 1938 Ford factory rim size and back spacing
What I was trying to determine is if there is any back spacing difference between the 1938 wide five wheel and the 5-5 1/2 wheels I guess 1940 was the first year not 1939 I assumed the change followed the changeover with hydraulic brakes
