Guys and Gals
Are all 1926 and 1927 car and 1/2 ton spoke wheels 21 inch?
Do all 1926 and 1927 car and 1/2 ton spoke Wheels have slots for Jaxon clamps or do some just have plain ole bolt holes?
What size are the older years 1915-1925 and do they have bolt holes or jaxon slots?
In repair manual they have pic of Kelsey wood spoke with 6 bolts rather than 4 was this aftermarket?
Just wondering
Thanks
happy holidays

Ken.
The 1916 490 chevrolet used 23" diameter wheel rims ,with 2 diferent tyre sizes 3 inch rims up front and 3 1/2 inch rims at the rear. Tyre size was 30 x 3 and 30 x 3 1/2.
1917 -1922 used 23 inch demountable rims with five lug bolts and jaxon rim clamps up to 1921, with 1922 having only 4 lug demountable rims.
I think that the 30 x 3 1/2 inch tyres continued to at least 1925 , but some one else can confirm if they stopped at 1924 or 1925 0r 1926. These size tyres continued to 1927 for model T F##ds.
The larger Baby Grand,and royal mail models and FA and FB models had six lug bolts

The H series cars, 1914-1916 had 25" wheels, mainly wood spoke but there was a Houk No. 4 wire wheel option which was $125 about 1/4 price of a 490. My Amesbury has the 25" wire wheels.
