From reading the parts catalog these rims came on 39-48 passenger cars and 1/2 ton trucks.
I have found a few on ebay but I am not looking to spend a small fortune on wheels and a lot of them are horrible.

That's according to the parts listing, although the vehicle info kits say the 4 inch wide wheels were used up thru 1949. They are both pretty common. I found a 4.5 inch wheel at the storage yard where I keep my pickup camper. Take a tape measure with you when checking.

It also depends where you measure in the bead area at the top of the rim it comes out like a 4.5 and at the bottom of the bead area it comes out closer to 4. But I want to thank you for your information and help. | | |
