The following measures might be what you are looking for? Here are measurements of center-to-center of wheel-to-wheel (center of tread tire-to-tire) front = 56.75" rear = 61" ( also shown here) Note: front measurements are slightly different in 1949 (huck brake spindles?) and in 1954/55 | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 | Thanks TC.

Is that what you need?  | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 | If I add or subtract 2X the offset to the center of tire dimension, I get the WMS. If I knew what 9-16 is. Assuming it is 9/16 and it is positive: 56.75 + 1.125= 57.875 WMS. Someone may chime in with an actual measurement.
thanks again

Will be interesting to see if it checks out someday when you take your 5 window wheels off. or did you say 54 is different.
