H cut off rear rims

SDE · Aug 2, 2015

This was in an auction listing.
Would they be just the rims?
Would the rims be 32" and were they all the same width or did they vary in width?
I need some 32" rims to rebuilt another set and if this is what I need, then I will have to miss our family reunion to go to this auction. If they are not, then I will attend the reunion.
Thank you
Steve

it was my understanding they started with 7" in 39 and got wider (8 & 9) in the later years.

Earliest rims were 6" not 7. There was then 7" and then an 8".
9" tires were on the 8" rims. Present tire size is 9.5 X 32.
Also 8.? X 32 for the narrower rims.

New rims are also available for your old centers.
Used wheels are available on ebay. Measure yours
inside where tire seats. If you need both then it
doesn't matter what width. 8" is most common width.

When first released the "H" came on 4-ply 6.50 x 32 rear tires and you could get the optional 7.50 at that time.

On April 25, 1939 the 7-32 became the standard tire with 8-32 as an option.

On Sept. 15th, 1941 the 7-32, 8-32 and 9-32 tires were offered.
