Title: Asking for wheel ID
Post by: HAVI on March 31, 2009, 06:41:42 PM
15" wheel, 5x4.75" BP, and about 2.75" center hole.  Couple things to note...there are only 2 nubs for the hubcap, and the stem is almost on the outer edge.  The wheel is welded as well.  So It apparently is newer than mid 60's or so.  Anyone?

Measured 3.5" backspace, and 10.5" or so from outside of nubs.

being its got a 4 3/4 bolt pattern, I'm gonna say its for a chevy, but no idea on the rest.  I know my ol f150 had more than two spots for a hubcap to clamp to.

Yep.  All of the wheels I've been looking at lately, Ford and Mopar all have 3 or 4 nubs.  Most Gm has atleast 3 nubs as well.  One picture that looks close is the GMC van, but I can't find a close up pic.
