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.

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.

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.

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 Kevin UK
