Packard wheels from around 1932

Rims need to be measured on the inside exactly where the tire bead sits against the rim. NOT the higher/farther out top of the edge of the rim!

That is a common mistake these days. Not enough people working in the trades and sharing knowledge with their friends. And then people make incorrect assumptions and spread them around. I have met way too many people in recent years that were absolutely convinced that the wrong way was the right way.

Of course, the "American English" versus European standards differences in this case doesn't help. I do wish I had a picture to post that would help. But I do not have one, and am not that computer literate.

 

I hope I may have helped some?

These appear to be 7 lug wheels

I know that 7 lug were used in 1930 on the 733(and i think 726) series Packards

Not sure about other years

 

Wayne is correct that the measurement is where the tire bead sits on the rim.
