16 inch wheels
I am thinking of using 16 inch wheels on my 58 F100. I have a line on 4 at a good price but three are 5.0 inchs wide, one is 4.5 inches wide. Will there be any problem running this set with 205 or 215 tires? They have inney nubs.

I pulled up a random 205R16 vintage tire, it calls for a minimum 5 inch rim width with a maximum of 7.5 inches. You should be able to squeeze them on a 5 inch rim. As for the 4.5 incher, it will be a very tight squeeze (the tire section width is over 8 inches). I'm more concerned about the mismatch. It will effect, at least, the track width and tire diameter of the odd wheel. I would suggest you find a 4th, matching, wheel. If that's not possible, definitely look at the possibility of a smaller tire (185?).

Thank you, More Turbo, I hope find another 5 inch rim. As for tire size, I have no problem going down to a 185 or 195. I kind go against the flow, I like the original ride height and look.
