cool57 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 does anyone know the width and backspacing of stock 57 Premier wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTX5467 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Rim width (INSIDE the bead area!) is probably 5.5" as many Fords were 5.0" widths back then. Unsure of backspacing. With the tire removed from the wheel, the rim diameter and width should be stamped on the inner part of the rim . . . somewhere.Regards,NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Commodore Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 If anybody has a 1957 Lincoln Premier wheel, this web site tells you how to measure width and backspacing.https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool57 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 I want to put 57 Premier wheelcovers on my 57 Fairlane, so I need to buy some 15" wheels. I will probably just buy OEM style replacement wheels as opposed to searching for originals. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
