Title: Wheels
Post by: lotsafords on 2009-02-15 14:34
Does anyone know for sure if 57 Ranchero are an exact exchange for 57 T-Bird wheels?  ie. width, back spacing valve stem location and anything else which might be different.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jack

They are the same, as Ranchero, Station Wagon, Sedan Delivery all use the same wheel.

Didn't T-Birds have 5" welded, as opposed to rivited, wheels.  I thought wagons and high performance applications had 5 1/2" wheels.

1955 and 1956, yes, 57 no.
