I THANK YOU!

I would love to see a 7.5 X15 rim truly a unique size!

 

Ok how about 15 x 7.5. Do you like that better.

This is a pre metric Hubcap Haven: STL3026A/C Ford F150 Wheel Steel Chrome

I was not aware of 18" wheels ever on 61-66 F100s.

Funny that they list all the rest differently your own footnote example is letting you down John...

Ford F250 Wheels F-250 Rims OEM Alloy Steel Wheel Rim

Not everyone uses stock wheels..... That is part of that new craze called Hot Rodding-- which is the idea and practice of using newer more technologically advance Parts to increase performance, reliability, power, mileage, and driveability of older classic vehicles and antiques..

 

1961/66 F100: 15" wheels were standard equipment, 16" & 17.5" wheels were optional.

16" wheels were also optional on 1966/79 Bronco (15's were standard equipment), 1967/79 F100 & 1975/79 F150.

 

Knowbody said they came with 18" wheels. Original poster made it quite clear he wanted to know if 18 x 10 wheels would fit his 66 truck. He wanted larger wheel and tire combo because of traction issues with added power.

How he asked for it was correct. And yes I have that tire size on my 66 F100 and they fit fine and no are not factory . . .

 

Pretty sure the 7.6 x 15 rim was a stock wheel size for a 1947 go-kart made by monkey-wards underwear division. The 4.65 HP briggs engine hooked up well with that combo! LOL

 

Is that the one with the tassels on the steering wheel?


Riot! Your killin me ! Underwear division...sheesh!

 

Didn't you notice? I was responding to John's post where he said that...

 

I'm sorry sir, but 8 lug wheels don't fit half ton trucks.

When did you first discover this hot rodding thing? Is it new?

Youse wize kids think you invented it all.




John

 

Whoa...............That "tire tech" site has a lot of info. I didn't realize the was so much involved in the naming convention of tires !!

 

John you can't even recognize sarcasm when it is right in front of you.. and who said anything at all about 8 lugs on a half ton... I was just giving an example of a wheel size...

As for Hot Rodding it got it's start in the late 1930's in Southern California, where racing at El Mirage dry lake, was and still is run by the Southern California Timing Association (SCTA) they also do the timing for Bonneville Salt flats, in Utah... I am well aware of the history of Hot Rodding... Living in close proximity of So Cal Speed shop, Big daddy Ed Roths Speed and Custom shop, Barris Kustom cars, Foose Desings, Boyd Coddington, Johnny Buttera ,The NHRA Wally Parks Museum, NHRA World headquarters, Peterson museum , and Peterson Publishing.. Publishers of Hot Rod, and Motor trend magazines among others......I can go on at great length here... It is pretty hard not to be aware and or know the history of Hot rodding... So I hardly need a lesson about it from the likes of you

Wize Kids??? Wow thanks at 51 years of age it has been a while since I was called a kid..... Old timer!

 

I'd have to argue this part.....
The drag radials I've had (BFG and MT), have normal sidewalls but extra soft "tread".

And WOW about 90% of this thread needs to be deleted, kinda sad......

 

It is pretty cool ! there is a lot more to it than most people know... I love reading those types of articles and expanding my knowledge base...
