Guys....It's obvious that this is NOT an original tire on this wheel. People 'up-sized' tires all the time. A 6.50 tire on a 4" wheel was a normal occurrence. '36 thru '39 'wide-five' wheels were all 4"-wide except for the very few 3-1/2" V8-60 wheels that were produced. Even with no pressure in this tire, if you'll pay attention to the tire/rim between 8 o'clock and 4 o'clock, it's easy to see that this is the regular ol' narrow, 4" wheel. Heck, the second picture shows a big ol' 7.50-R16 that we put on a 16 X 4-1/2" Ford wheel. It's been done to death! DD
