Willys77 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Can anyone supply any info :confused: on "GENERAL JUMBO" Wheels? I believe they were a "Period" accessory, after market type of wheel. I know they were manufactured for Ford:rolleyes: and Chevy - gasp! How rare / desirable are they? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougsclassic Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 You can read some information about the General Tire Company wheels which were actually manufactured by Cleveland Welding and known as Cleve Weld Wheels, by clicking on this link [url="http://www.restorodstogo.com/2010/01/general-jumbo-wheels-1930s.html" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougsclassic Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I am currently restoring a set of 9 spoke General Jumbo Wheels for my 1937 Chevy Pickup Truck. I have a couple 11 spoke wheel for Chevrolet and would really like to find some more to complete a set. These are the ones I would ultimately like to run on my Chevy. I have hub caps for two sets of wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougsclassic Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Just thought of something else. A friend has a pair of 15" Cleve Welds that have a small 5 lug pattern. I am not familiar with willys bolt pattern. Could they possibly fit that application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willys77 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Willys had a four bolt pattern till 1939 ? and five bolt in 1940 - 42. What is the spacing (inches) of these small bolt circle wheels. What is the centre hole diameter? Can you post any photos? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could they possibly fit that application?The Chevy "standard" model of 1936 used a 4.25" bolt circle, 5 lug. I have tried in the past to find out how many other years of Chevy Standards used the small pattern...but no luck yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest truckdog62563 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 The Chevy "standard" model of 1936 used a 4.25" bolt circle, 5 lug. I have tried in the past to find out how many other years of Chevy Standards used the small pattern...but no luck yet.Chevy Standard 6s from 1934 to 1936 used 16" x 4" Kelsey Hayes disc wheels having 5 lug x 4.25" circle. In 1936 a steel spoke was also available in a 17" x 3.25" size. Before that, 1933 to 1935 had wire wheels with the same bolt pattern in 17" x 3" size. The 33 to 34s had small hub caps, 34 to 35 had large hub caps. Wires were also available 34- 36 on Standards in 19" x 3.25" size. Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
