  • Wheels / Tires: 1947 half ton pickup rim and tire size?

    What is the original rim and tire size for a 1947 Studebaker half ton pickup? Are there other brand and model auto/truck manufactures rims that are interchangeable with this truck? Thanks

      According to articles on the M5 in Turning wheels and The Antique Studebaker Review, the OE tire size after the war was 6.50x16.
