Wheels again
« on: September 05, 2006 4:00 pm »
Looking for 2 ea. 16" X 5 or 6" wide w/ a 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern. I know the ford crown vic has them but they are 7" wide and they will not accept a small cap. Been told '49 or '50 ford had them as an option. Even if you don't have the wheel but know of some thing else that will work let me know.

Thanks.

Tuck is running a set of 16 on his shoebox. From what I understand they are pretty hard to get ahold of.

I assume you are looking for a solid steelie type wheel right? I do have a full set of artilliary style wheels off a Internanational pickup but dont really wanna part with em. I would check Corn Binders, they had the small bolt pattern and should have had 16's into the 50's. Mine are from a 35 International.

Naw, don't need them till next spring. Got a guy on the HAMB who wants to sell me two, but.... if I can get them local, that would be even better.

If you don't make it down will have to stop by on the way home Sunday to pickup Char's sweatshirt.
