15-inch wheels were not common on early Fords prior to 1948. Post war Mercury cars had 15-inch but changed style for 1949 through 51. Lincolns had 15-inch post war but they had hub cap clips till 1948. The 15-inch wheels were more common on the F100 pickups that came later but there were still 16-inch types available too.

Most post war 1/2-ton pickups were 16-inch. Heavier pickups of 3/4-ton on up had different type wheels.
