Correct Tire and Wheel Size

[gturner]

Hi Bill, thanks for the note. Hold off contacting anyone. The rearend is a 60's somehting 8 3/4 Chrysler rearend. Sounds like the bolt patterns aren't the same. I'll have to make do with what fits the existing hubs until I can afford to convert.
Thanks fort he help! :)

You are going to be hardpressed to find after market , reproduction, wheels for your P5. The wheel centers with the external clips are not available, I talked to every wheel manufacture I could find in trying to get wheels for my 39 Plym.  Moores in Rapid City might be able to help you with used wheels, I also know a fellow in Idaho that has a fetish for wheels, he has stacks of them, I will contact him if you want.....Bill

Thanks you :) Now I need to find reproduction or original wheels.
Are reproduction wheels available through a company such as Wheel Vintiques?

The Plymouth P5 Business/Roadking had 17" wheels (making for more economical driving), and the P5 Deluxe had 16" wheels.

I have a 1938 Plymouth P5 Business Coupe. There appears to be several tire and wheel sizes from 16, 17, 18 and 20 inches for the 1938 Plymouths. Does anyone know what the proper size is for a 1938 P5 Business coupe?
