I only knew they made 16" and some 15" never seen a 18"

I agree with 55 merc,only 16" as far as i know.Unless General Jumbos were that size.He may be measuring in the wrong place on the wheel. ken ct.

There were 18" ones sold for high ground clearance applications - very rare.

WOW ! that's a new one on me also. I was always under the impression 1932 was the only 18" then on down to 17" for 33-34 and 16" for 35 (last wire spokes) and large diameter bolt pattern for 36 through 39 being a 16"still. even at 75 you can still pick sumpin up. who knew ?

Poor man's overdrive!

There were 30 X 3 1/2 clinchers for the model A, maybe not from Ford though, and there were 16" wheels for '49 Ford cars from Ford.

I think Scott blew the minds of the whole community with this one. He has 3 of them, I guess ice cream truck type applications! Aaron, yes...I would bet 20%. Scott, give us a outside diameter with tire mounted, if you will.

They indeed made an 18". I've had a number of folks tell me that I'm worng. If I didn't have three of them I might wonder. If you measure the edge to edge dia. they are close to 19 3/4" across. They take an 18" tire at the beads. The one with the car type tire measures 29" tall and the one with the truck type tire measures 31" tall. So, I'm still looking for ome more to make the set. These will be used on a salt car. Thanks for your help and comments.

18" wide fives were on some trucks and delivery van bodies.
I have one extra wide five 16" good paint $10 but only has two hub cap clips.
I used it for a spare. russ.32@hotmail.com for pic.

For reference, here is a photo showing the KH, 18 inch wide-5s mounted in the rear with 16X3.5 V8-60 wide-5s in the front.

I found one of these on e-bay, thought I would share the pictures so everyone could see they do exist. The guy is asking $500 for just one of these. In one picture you can see that they are marked 18"X3.62"

 

[The Lucky Star]

Yep, still out there and I'm still looking!
