Wire Wheels with a Ford Bolt Pattern

[rogeroadster]

I have a set of 19" wire wheels that are said to be 1931 Chrysler/Dodge/De soto. The bolt pattern is very close to Ford 5 on 5 1/2. While I wouldn't be so brazen as to install them on a stock Model A, while trying to sell them the question "will they fit a Ford?" often comes up. Does anyone know the difference between the bolt patterns?

I think big series Chrysler wheels are 5 on 5 1/2, aren't they?
One of my friends had a wheel (said to be Chrysler, entirely unverified) that looked much like '32-35 Ford wheels that was that pattern; it would not really match a '28-35 Ford hub due to different hub depth but had the proper bolt pattern. It might well have fit on a Ford hydraulic brake hub.

I agree, I think Chrysler did use the 5 on 5 1/2 pattern. I know they used it later on the Imperial for sure.
