'39 Mercurys (the first production Mercury) had 16" wheels. You can get the front wheel bearings at most parts stores, like O'Reilly's, but it'll cost ya near $100 bucks buying the bearings and races separately. You can get the whole package from someone like Mac VanPelt for about $61 bucks. Or you could also call Michael Driscoll at 3rd Generation Automotive in Tennessee whom would love to get your phone call.....GOOD, personal service! DD |

comfirm that they are 16" but they were a wide 5 bolt pattern many of these have been changed to the later 42 hubs as a better selection of parts ie brakedrums etc is avalible

The 16 x 4.0, wide 10" wheels should be pretty easy to find. I think I have three sets (12) of them, however, none of them are for sale.
