I have 18" Ridler wheels (I believe 9.5" wide) on my 49 pickup. The chrome is starting to look bad so I'm looking into buying new ones. The PO put these tires and wheels on so I'm not sure of the back spacing and width. Is there anything stamped on the back side of the wheel what would tell me just what style, size, and back spacing these wheels are?

[img]https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthread...ber/24370/filename/20201108_115407-1.jpg[/img]Thanks for the info guys. That link shows all the 18"X8" wheels have 4.5 back spacing. I pulled one of the wheels off and here is everything that was stamped on the back.
