Looking to order some inner tubes for 16" Ford Steel Wheels, can any one help. Trying to figure out the right part. (tube size and stem type/location). last time i bought inner tubes for my reproduction 16" steel wheels the parts guy sent me the wrong stem type.

CALL whoever you're going to order them from (NOT Mac's I hope), and tell them what you want. Model A suppliers also carry 16" tubes. FWIW

Go directly to your nearest Harley Davidson dealer

I had a similar question awhile back, so called Coker Tire and got a very knowledgeable guy on the line who prescribed precisely what worked.

Thanks Tstiles I was hopping to order from a subtier supplier of Coker who could get me parts before the end of the week. I'll call Coker for part number

Coker agent told me I need the 500R16/700R16 Radial Tube with TR15 offset stem.

Cokers description list this for use on Radial tires which I don't understand. I told the guy I'm putting bias ply tires on the rim

Radial tubes (which are a lot more common) will work with bias ply tires but not the other way around.

Just bought the Coker Radial Tubes with offset stem. Works great.
