I'm sure the old roundy round dirt track racers, who are still with us, could tell you all about the wider versions of Ford w5 wheels and what vehicles they were used on.

Here are some 18” W5s that I ran across a few years back. Based on my measurements they were 3.5” x 18”. I’m not sure what they came off us as they were at a local estate sale with old tires mounted on them. There was no vehicle anywhere in sight at the location of the sale and the folks hosting the sale couldn’t provide any info.
