Have a ?? Am trying to replace the wheels on our 33 Desoto and am wondering if it is a 5 x 4 1/2 inch pattern or did they use a 5 x 4 3/4. Came with 16 inch wood wheels. Thanks for any help.
Here is a pic of the day we brought it home. Couple years old but has not changed much.
It might be best to go directly to the '33 Tech Advisor that can be found on our resources page.
It's supposed to be fun!

Don't know about the wood wheels, but a question for you- The wheels you have in the photo look just like the ones I have on my 32 SC. My digging suggested they were from a 34-36 Dodge, or perhaps an option added at the dealer. But I never nailed it down. Mine were painted at the rim, with chrome hub section. Do you know what those wheels came from, what year?
