Ford wide five stye rims. 16" X 4"

These are from 39 and earlier that I'm looking for.

Did you get some hubs to run these or just starting with the wheels? The wheels were the same from '36-'39, but the '36 hubs are different. How many do you need? I may have some extras, but I am running 2 on the front of my roadster so I will have to make sure I am covered...

I bought a complete 39 front end. I still have to figure out something for the rear. I'd like to run them on the rear too but haven't checked in to seeing if I could use some type of adapters for a later model rearend or some way of converting a late model rear to use the wide 5 drums or just get the pre 40 rearend. I'm not sure if a pre 40 axle would hold up to what I want to drop between the frame rails. As for how many? I'm looking for 4. I have one lined up if it comes through so I'll take what I can get at this point. If you get a chance to check your stock and have a spare PM me with a price. Thanks man...

I have one. I'm still also getting more license plates.

What width do you need? I think mine is the wider one. I had a narrow one but sold it.

If I could come across two wide ones for the rear would be cool. Are the wide ones a split rim?

The one I have is a 4 inch I think, One piece wheel.

Sounds like what I'm looking for. PM me a price if ya would. I can drive down to get it so no shipping hassle.

look like this?

Yep, looks like it. I took a look at it today. Its in the back of my lincoln.

The truck rims were 5" I believe, and still one piece - pretty hard to come by. The way you like to drive your cars I would definitely reccomend a stronger rearend. Speedway sells an adapter to run the wide 5 wheels on a late model rearend, but you would definitely need to run the stock wide 5 hubcaps with them because they are a whole lotta ugly...

At least they make them..I kind of figured I was going to get stuck with the caps on the back if I used adapters. It's funny, while Chad and I was in TX we came back north through a few states and ran into a garage with some old model A and some other old Iron. There were 4 hubcaps to fit the wide five wheel sitting on the sidewalk next to their door. I didn't think too much about them because I didn't have the front end at the time. I've always like the look of the wide 5's of 20's and early 30's rods.

Hey Steve I have one extra wheel, so with junkyard junky's that would make you a pair for the front. I also have a complete set of matching hubcaps if you are interested. Just let me know...

With the rim that would be enough to get everything I need to build the roller..
