Mustang Rims

[bige386]

Can anyone tell me if a set of 1970 Ford Mustang rims ( American Racing Rim's) will fit on the 46 Ford Tudor Sedan. Stock rear end.
Thanks for any info.

No they have a different bolt pattern (mustand 5 on 4 1/2 early ford 5 on 5 1/2")

what year did the cars go to 5 on 4 1/2? pretty sure it was in the 40's

Ford cars went to the 5 lug 4.5" bolt circle in 1949.

You could run adapters might add 1" to 11/4" each side.

But why?... why not switch to a 5 lug - 5.5 pattern 15 inch wheel.. it will allow you better tire options including tubeless radials that look like bias ply

Ford pickups had the 5 1/2 bolt pattern for quite a few years after 1948. I don't know when they stopped.

Ford 1/2 ton pickups had the 5 lug X 5.5" bolt pattern thru 1996.
In 1997 Ford 1/2 ton went to a 5 lug X 5.35" bolt pattern.
A person can't see the difference, so one should get a
wheel bolt pattern gauge, available at most auto parts stores.
