    So my parts jeep has two types of wheels, both 15" x 4.5(I think). But I'm not sure which is correct, they look similar but one has a wider gap than the other. Which style is correct for a 60, and what's the other set from?

    The narrow gap is what I'm used to seeing but I think you have one ford and one IH wheel.

    I was thinking the larger gap one may be from a IH, but what makes you think the other is a Ford?

    From what I've read ford used same bolt pattern but a different center hole size that had to be cut out. These definitely aren't cut, I have a few that were. Was there ford wheels with the same size center hole?

    The narrow slots are typical early 15” rims used on Willys CJs. These are often referred to as “creased” wheels because of the defined edge on the outer raised ring (the part where the later rims have hubcap nubs).
