Tuxedo Jc5 Rim Guidance Help.

I didn’t know this, good to know!

 

Prefect thank you. This was the answer I was looking for.

For anyone that’s like me and wants a link. Here’s a set threw summit racing.

I found my hub caps on a Ford Subway hoagie shop van. The Indian owner was into old cars and trucks too and he gave them to me.

 

I'm looking for stock style wheels for my Intermediate. I didn't know the center bore on those was large enough to fit the front hub.

 

that could be true. I bought a set for my scout 80 half cab a couple years ago and remember machining out the center hole a bit

 

The wheel vintiques series 62 with 5x5.5 bolt pattern has a 4.25” center bore, so it should fit.

I wish they made it in a 16”

 

Good to know, thanks. I looked at the Wheel Vintique website and didn't see that info.
I just measured the center bore dia. on my donor jeep wheels, it is 4 1/4"

 

It is one of the few wheels they (or anyone else) makes that fits. Most have a much smaller center bore hole.

Back around 1997 I bought my first CJ7 and tried finding stock style steel wheels to fit it. No luck, everything I found had a small center bore, though they would fit F-150 hubs.
I recall there was also a problem finding something that would fit over disc brake calipers. I ended up painting some chrome modulars and using them.

 

Here’s the rim with the 5 raised ribs between the bolt holes that Donny was talking about in post #13
I just recently bought this from Brian, many thanks again!

 

I like the look of those M-55's you have Roy. I've used them before and was impressed with the winter traction. Now I'm looking for something with a stock look.

I know they're expensive but they'll probably last forever on a Jeep.

 

I really would like to find the white wall snow tires the Tuxedo Parks came with, but now you can only get white walls in passenger car tires. Or get a white wall vulcanized to a black snow tire, but the bands are quite a bit wider than the ones on the original snow tires.

 

Yeah I’ve been looking hard, calling Coker, local shops. Online tire centers and safe to say there’s nothing like the old whitewall snow tires being made anymore. I wish someone would prove me wrong though! I would love to be wrong hahaha

 

I phoned almost every State asking about them, came down to you might find a set that has been stashed away somewhere, but then may have the issue of the rubber being cracked. Also tire shops are not allowed to install tires more than 10 years old if you’re going be driving an insured vehicle for the street

 

With a rise in vintage 4x4 more and more and young and older guys all liking the old tires. I think I’m the next couple years will see one from Coker.

 

I hope so
