1940 Ford truck tire/wheel options
 

Can any of you that have 40/41 pickups please post pictures of your ride.

Please also include the tire and wheel size (including backspace) and any suspension drop/mods you've done.

Looking to order my wheels and tires, and I'd like to see what others are running!

Thanks!

Is your pickup a stock pickup or a modified pickup with later running gear? Modern rear end and modern front end(Mustang II or dropped axle)? If modified go to the Wheelsmith website and they have a complete diagram how to do the measurements. WWW.Wheelsmith.net. The diagram will work for a stock pickup or a modified pickup.

Zeke, thanks. I forgot to add "the" which make a big difference.

My truck Is using stock running gear. I removed a leaf from the front and swapped 2 from top to bottom of the pack in the rear.

What is the original rim size? ( I think 16x4) and what is the backspacing on the original rim?

I use the stock wheels and hubcaps, they look good. If you want your truck to look like a truck then run 6.50-16 bias ply or 215/85-16 radials black wall tires.
