Ford F100 1961 Flareside long bed -> wheelsize?
Hi Guys,
what size of wheels are possible for an original Ford F100 1961 Flareside long bed?
Both in width as well as in height.
Where can i find wheel spacers in 5x5.5 for this truck?
Thanks for answers.

All 1953/79 F100's have 5 lug wheels on a 5.50" bolt circle.
1961 F100's came with 15" wheels as standard equipment, 16" wheels were optional.
1961 F100's were also available with optional 17.5" x 5.25" wheels. These wheels required different front fenders that have a 45" opening radius.
1961 F100's with 15 & 16" wheels came with 36" opening radius fenders.

Dang... I'm going to look over a 65 F250 tomorrow. It wasn't supposed to be a project but that long Flareside bed is too cool for school.
As for trying to figure out what size rims/tires will fit, you're gonna need a plumb bob, a straight edge, and a tape measure.
