Plymouth wheel lug bolt pattern.

ryanwheelock · Aug 18, 2010

Looking for someone that knows what the bolt pattern is on a 1940 plymouth. I did a search on the internet and couldnt find anything that far back. I know its 5 lug but is it 5 on 4 1/2 or something else. Car isnt here for me to measure the bolt spacings.
THanks

I had a 47 that it was 5x 4 1/2

Tom is correct; 4-1/2" bolt circle.
Same as most Ford cars since "49, most all American Motors as well as most Mopars up into the 80s at least.

Be careful with the left hand lugs, Righty loosy. (usually have an L stamped in the head. Jim

On my 48 Plymouth I put Ford aluminum wheels. I did have to polish out a few thousandths from the bore and all was well. Tractor related...I traded the use of the MF-35 for one day for the wheels and nice tires. ohfred

I bought a new 1954 Plymouth in 1953 when I was in the Army. It probably had the same bolt pattern as your Plymouth, but it had 15-inch tires. Got pretty good gas mileage traveling between Ft Bragg NC and MD even though gas was only 20 cents a gallon. Hal
