casper50 Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Does anyone know if 16" Inch Beauty Trim Rings for a 1940 ford would work on stock rims for a 47 Dodge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpollo Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I have used what I believed to be Ford trim rings with good results...... not on a 47 Dodge, but other Chrysler products with 16 inch rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blucarsdn Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Accessories like wheel trim rings don't know if they are Ford, GM or DCPD, a 16" wheel is just that. There are some anomaly's in how many ribs the rings has, Ford used a five rib ring in 41 through about '48. The one thing that you have to watch out for is the width, a standard ring is usually 1-1/4" wide which will fit just about any 4.0 to 5-6" wheel, when the wheels get over 6.5" the trim ring can be as wide as 1-3/8" wide.

casper50 Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) I've been asking about these but the owner won't answer my questions. I wanted to know if they will or will not hit my valve stems. Edited February 21, 2018 by casper50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdome Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Casper, looking at the tape, I would say if your valve stem is closer than 2-1/8" from the inside of your rim and there are no reliefs on the trim rings then they won't fit.

casper50 Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I went out and measured the stem a little while ago, it's 1 3/4". Have to find some others. I really liked that rounded look though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
