Pre-war Bolt pattern + Rim size
Posted by Michael On 2009/12/17 21:09:37
Hello all, as a new member and new Packard owner, I'm pleased to have found this site with it's abundance of information; thanks to BigKev and all those who have so kindly contributed material. I await delivery of my '39 17th series 4 door Touring Sedan in the next week and so am doing some preliminary research... As this vehicle, while very well cared for and currently in fine running condition, it will need tires in the immediate future.
After searching as diligently as I can, I have only ascertained that the original tire size was 16 x 6.5 and a 205/75/16 or 225/75/15 (with a rim change; I have a set of Dayton wires that may fit the bill) tire will be suitable.
I have also noted that the bolt pattern may be either 5 x 4.5 or 5 x 5... the lug nut size has eluded me thus far.
Can some kind soul fill in the blanks?
I'm certain that I'll have many, many questions on this path as this is my first flathead powered vehicle... yikes!
cheers,
michael
