? about wheel trim rings.

[casper50]

Does anyone know if 16" Inch Beauty Trim Rings for a 1940 ford would work on stock rims for a 47 Dodge?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Maybe punch a hole where the valve stem goes.
