Can someone tell me the difference between steel wheels used on the 1937 Packard 120 and the 1937 Super Eight if there is any. I know each used a 16" wheel but is the center hole the same diameter and were the bolt pattern and wheel width the same? Thanks

completely different. will NOT interchange.

What prompts your question? Are you looking for one or the other?

Yes, I am going to a swap meet and I will only have a tape measure to identify wheels: I want to know for the1937 junior and senior wheels: what is the width, diameter of the large center hole and the wheel pattern of the wheel bolt holes.

I will get some pics and dimensions for the Super Eight wheels later today, but do not have any Twelve wheels left. They are different.

Just need measurements for 1937 junior and 1937 Super Eight. I do need 37 packard v12 wheel measurements which I think takes a 8.25X16" tire, 6 lug bolts which may be a larger diameter and I think the wheel pattern is 6 holes in a 6-1/2" circle (6X6-1/2). I am inclined to think the 37 "120" and "Super Eight" have a bolt pattern of 5 holes in a 5" circle or (5X5). Only difference just may be the center hole.

The Super Eight wheel is 6 3/8" wide, the center hole is 3 3/4" in diameter and the lug spacing is 3 1/4" center to center.
There is no pin striping on the wheels of our RHD 1500 because the car was repainted when it arrived in England...to "get rid of that gauche ornamentation"
