1 to 1 Ford Wheel Question

[stavanzer]

On Prewar Fords. would the Wheels from a '36-40 Ford bolt onto '32 Ford hubs?

I want to put AMT '36 or '40 Rims on a Worn '32.

Thank You!

'36-'39 had the "wide five" bolt pattern with rims resembling those of a VW Beetle.  I believe the '40 and later wheels would work.  A lot of early Fords, including nearly all hot nodded ones and many otherwise stock ones, were converted to hydraulic brakes using '40 and up parts.  So the wheels would just be part of the conversion for those.

Ford started using the 5 lugs on 5" center wheels around 1940 thru the 1948-year model, they continued to use that same bolt pattern on their 1/2 ton pickups and most Mercury's for many decades.
