Looking at some 17" KH wire wheels and noticed 3 threaded studs and 2 "nubs" on the back side of the rim. Anybody know what these are for? I have not measured so I am not 100% sure they are even Ford....

Thanks,
Will

The threaded studs are to add washer type weights for balancing back in the day. My 16X4.5 KH wheels have those studs as well.

Not sure what those "nubs" are - certainly look like balance weights - my KH do not have the nubs

How about a pic of the front.Doesn't look like a Ford wheel.

bolt pattern looks a little small for ford.

Not Ford, I think bolt pattern is 5 on 5".

I agree, not old Ford. The backside of that wheel doesn't have room for the nubs on the hubs inside the wheel studs.
