Dell (WA) said: Framer.......there was NEVER a 5-bolt wide-hub 16" 9N rim, ONLY 3x19 rim with 4x19 1-rib tire. The later 8N 6-bolt small hub front came with 4x19 rims (good for plowing) and DEALER OPTIONAL 5.5x16 rims good for FEL's. Many 9Ns had the 6-bolt 8N spindles installed for wider 6.00x16 3-rib loader tires. Not what you were looking for is it? You want 16" tires on yer 9N, yer going to haffta do what the good ol'boys at NASCAR and hot-rodders do. Make'em. We've been UNABLE to find 5-bolt wide-hub 16" rims to fit; there is "speculation" that some of the 1937-38 Ford car 5-bolt wide-hub 16" rims might fit, but its unverifiable. .......Dell[/quote:52e778e369] [quote:52e778e369="trac"]i don t think 16" was a dealer option on the 9n but the older volkswagon rims will i have a set but i think they are 15" rims but they dont look stock but they work fine You both are wrong. Maybe you both need to read this post that is on the other board that proves there were 16" wheels made for the 9N and 2N by Kelsey Hayes for Ford and were available at the dealer as an option. Here is the address: Type n and the word tractor and the word club then .com followed by /forums/nboard/messages5/108485.html to go to the post. I have to type it this way because the words are blocked. I hope this info helps This post was edited by 1951 8N PA at 01:43:26 11/01/09 2 times. [Reply]   [No Email]
