  We have pretty well finished our 45 pick up but the spare is 15” while the 4 running wheels are 16x4”. Can anyone help with sourcing one 16”x4” preferably this side of the pond. Thanks

  Have you tried the UK Regional Group?

  Jeeps and maybe other 4x4's used 5 on 5 1/2 wheels. Early years were probably 16's but not positive. Might consider expanding your search since its only for a spare.

  Thanks for your posts. I have tried regional group. No joy so far. I will try swap meets as and when they kick in. I will also place an ad in the v8 telegraph.

  I have several 16 x 4 Ford wheels that are common for the '40 -48 Ford cars and 1/2 ton pk ups. As one of the contributors mentioned, the early Jeeps used the 16 x 4, 5 on 5.5 wheels, however they don't have hubcap knobs and they have a different back set.
Ford 1/2 ton pickup through 1966 used the same style of wheel, generally they will be 15 ", however, Ford did us the 16", 5 0n 5.5 through '66. The later model F100 wheels will be wider, running from 4.5" to 5.5" ID wide across the bead line.
