Re: Ford rims ?? Wide
Far as I know, 60hp car 3.5 width, most cars 4”, pickup and Mercury 4.5”
I had some widened 2”, to fit 750 tires |

Re: Ford rims ?? Wide
My 1 ton as I remember has a 7.5” 6 lug Split rim,
The picture with 650 tire probably the rim is the max for wide 5 Stock, 4.5”width Research I had done, I believe the 3/4 ton pickup has extra leaves, still wide 5 pattern 4.5” 4” wheel used 600 tire 3.5” used 550 tire |

Re: Ford rims ?? Wide

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 ....... |

Re: Ford rims ?? Wide
The majority of the wide five wheels will have the date/manufacture, Ford or KH with month/year stamped into the back side of the bead area, generally at 6 o-clock from the valve stem.
I would doubt very much that there are very many Standard Series 16 x 3.5 wheels exist now. The 550 x 16 tire would have been an odd tire size in '36, most people would have opted for the 600 x 16 tire

Re: Ford rims ?? Wide
According to the EFV8 Club, 35-36 book, Wheels And Tires: "In July of 1936, standard model cars were equipped with 5.50 x 16 four ply non-script tires and the rim was reduced from 4 inches wide to 3 1/2 inches wide".

Re: Ford rims ?? Wide
I had a 36 std 5W a few years back and all the 5 wheels which were original to the car were 3.5" wide.

Like a skunk in the wind, it's coming back to me now. You ARE correct in that those last few production '36 Standards had the skinny wheels. DD

The really difficult versions to find are the 1940 3-1/2" wide with 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. I had two of these and sold them at relatively high dollars.

Re: Ford rims ?? Wide
I wonder? Were the '37-39 Lincoln wheels wide 5 on 10".. If they are I would make book that the Lincoln wheels are wider than the Ford. A comment was made earlier in this thread that the Merc wheels in 39 were 4.5".
