15" rims that are stock are around...P/O had 15" rims on rear and 16" on front on my current 46. Rims look the same. I have located a full set of 15" but have not picked them up yet.

I had Aluminum 14" 6 bolts on my stock 41 hubs....

someone has what you want...stock or other.

Funny,

My '46 was set up with 15" on the front and 16" on the rear! I'm going with 16" all around.

Tim, My 46 came with 6 hole 15". I run P235 75R 15" blackwalls with radial tubes. About the right heigth, maybe a little wider than stock, but do not rub. Look pretty good, and at 50 mph I'll never wear them out...

My 37 had the 15 inch artillery wheels on it when I got it and I am running radials and tubeless with no problems.

15 inch wheels from 1970 on back had 6 holes
& fit good. I ran a set on my 40 with 235x15
tubeless. Worked real good. smile

I found some "15 inch rims off a 57 half ton, that also used the spring clips for the hub caps, my 46 hub caps fit right on. I'm sure the same is true for pickup rims from 55 through about 59 or 60.
