Topic: 1950 Mercury Wheels


Classic1    -- 07-23-2014 @ 12:03 PM
  Somewhere along the line, someone cleaned up and red powder coated a nice set of 1950 Mercury wheels and placed them on my 1939 Ford V-8 Deluxe. They look great but I only have four and I'm in desperate need to set up a spare. I'm having a devil of a time finding the exact size. Someone told me that this was a wheel that was only produced by Mercury for the 1950 line. Wondering if that is true or if it was actually used in other years as well. Here are the specs:
15" dia x 6" width
5 lugs @ 5.5" dia
4" back spacing

Anyone know of a good source to locate one or two of these?
Thanks

  The Chassis Parts Catalog shows the same wheel was used in 1950 and 1951. It is a 15" x 51/2". P/N is 0M-1015-AP.

  Thanks Tom, yes you are correct. As it turns out, it is a 5.5 inch width and not the 6.0 inch that I originally measured. This makes things so much easier!

Thanks!
