These were sold as General Jumbo accessory wheel by General tire.They made all different size for all different cars.14" with 8 spokes were low pressure balloon tire for rough soft roads and better ride. They are some times called Clev-weld because that is stamped around the lug holes.Darrell

Speaking of General Jumbos .........
I do not have any JUMBO tires or wheels, but I do have this great piece of advertising, put out by General Tires, promoting their JUMBO Jr. tires.
It is an AM radio, probably for their dealers ???????
The speaker is located in the center and the controls are off to each side.
I have had this for about fifty years, having found it at a regular type Flea Market.

How about one of Uncle Fester's Ford coupe with Jumbos? Or a set of wheels that were on a trailer?

Hi Darrel,
i have always admired your 34 and especially those wheels. What size and width are your jumbos ?
I read on the HAMB you had to narrow the wheels by 1 inch in the front.
I have a 34 Ford coupe as well with 2,5" dropped stock front axle and early ford spindles with Lincoln Zephyr brake drums.
I would like to run my coupe with fenders and Jumbo General Rims / Tyres ( 600 front / 700 rear) as well.
I believe Jumbos also came out in size 16" and 4.5" width. That size should fit my car without causing any problems, such as reducing steering radius. I think those would look and fit the best!

I dont know about 15" if they will fit without issues. Thats why i would like to know your opinion on the sizes 14", 15" and 16" Jumbo General wheels with regards to a 34 trad. dropped front axle set up with fenders.

Regards Randolf
 
Great looking ride. Can you tell me what you have for suspension front & rear? I like the stance & need to get my roadster a bit lower.
Thanks,

Your 1934 ford Five Window Coupe looks neat.
A few years ago, a friend had a Set of these wheels for sale. While they look similar to the Jumbo Wheels, I notice that they have Nine "Spokes" while yours only has Eight? Is this Red Wheel a Jumbo, or is it something else?
 
Sorry I just seen this and hope I can still help.14" is the only wheel they made repo caps for 15 an16 have there own caps and you have to find originals and fix. Rally America was selling the repo caps but the place burned to the ground And I think they lost them all. I ask them and they didn't have anymore. I had to narrow my fronts to clear the disc brake caliper so the back of the wheel is moved to the outer part of my car. The outer lip is were it always was. I do have the narrower front 4" inch drop axle. They should bolt on your Lincoln brakes. They should be 14" 8 spoke 5 1/2" bolt pattern at 6 1/2" wide. 15" & 16" have 9 spokes. I have 8 inch ford rear end with four bar front and rear buggy spring front and rear just kept adjusting springs until I got this ride hieght. Darrell
