Guest canucktruck Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Have this extra wheel that I am trying to determine whether its an 18 or 17 incher. Measured at the back inside the rim , not the first lip but the second and its 17 inch. Is that the actual diameter where the bead would rest? Someone wants to know if its for 32 Ford or not.Any help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest canucktruck Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Just took another look at the wheel.FYI, there are 40 spokes and they are riveted it appearsThere are 5 bolt holes and it looks like the diameter is 5 1/2 inches The hole for the hubcap on front is 6 1/2 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It's not a Ford wheel. Ford's wires are welded on both ends and they aren't bent at the outer weld. This looks like a GM wheel. The other wheel in the picture looks like Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you need to measure the diameter across the bead seating surfaces, NOT the outermost lip of the rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
