Any suggetions on where to find a wheel to fit a 1948 M5? 16"X4.5". The truck we bought has one bent wheel. We are going to try and bend it back just so we can put a new tire on it so we can trailer it home to work on it. Thanks for any help.

I have a 16" Stude truck wheel here in SC. Can you post a pic of yours for comparison? The wheel I have was on a junk T cab when I got it but might have been from an M series the seller had parted. It is definately different than the other wheels. If it works for you its cheap. Stevesigpic

Check my profile pictures there should be 4 photos of the Wheel I'm looking for. Inside the wheel which is hidden when there is a tire on it there should be some stamped numbers 16X4.5. There maybe a couple more than that but the 16X4.5 is important. The wheel in the photo has been primed.
Thanks for responding

kinda looks like this
Hi, I am sorry it took a few days for me to get these taken. I believe this is the wheel Steve said you need. It appears to me to be the same wheel, with exception of paint condition ; ) It is a 16" wheel that measures 4.5 from center of lug hole 1 to center of lug hole 3 (2 to 4 and 3 to 5). I believe this has a 3" center. (I could have it confused with the other 16" tire I studied today that was 3 1/4". When the rain stops I will confirm.) I took pics of the offset measurements too, if you need them. Thanks, Tracysigpic
