Re: 1940 super eight 160 series 1804 model 1362 138" Wheelbase: making it driveable

You can see I have been busy lately. The latest dilemma I have is getting the correct rims wheels for this car. The car as I got it had later model 15" rims on it. See the first picture. Then I collected three correct 160 rims wheels (somehow never finding a fourth) which I was told are the stamped Motor Wheel 16 500 598 and have a 3 3/8" center hole, 4 3/4" diagonal bolt center to center and 3" bolt to bolt hole center. While looking for the correct 160 rims someone told me that radials work better on the the bus/ambulance/hearse/limousine rims wheels so not finding the correct 160 rims I bought a set of five of the limousine rims wheels. The limousine rims wheels are stamped Motor Wheel 16F 550 572 with a 3 7/8" center hole. The limousine rims wheels really are quite different than the 160 rims wheels. Any thoughts?
