Need to find rims for these, after using google it looks like Ford 8N tractor front rims are gonna be my best option. I believe these tires are mostly used on old Rolls Royce & retail around $350 and up each. I paid $60 for 4 of them and really want to use them. I think the one that is a "Blue Peter" may be a recap

Ford 8N uses a 6 lug wheel. What size are you looking for?

Looking for 19 by 4 rims found a site where I can buy the rims only wlth no centers I may go that route

Ya gotta really really check those tires,If they haven't been stored in a cool dry place you could have a bad mishap (old tires don't age well),& they have new drugs to help with the Blue Peter
what bolt pattern do ya need?{5 x 5-1/2?} there a few companies that sell hoops,tell us more about what your wanting to do.[S

I've seen a couple other artical about making rims,some of them get kinda scary have you looked into after market steel rims?maybe you could trim down the flat spots before the lip/bead? [

Tires have absolutely no checking and are in really great shape.

Someone turned me on to this link and it is probably the rout I'll take that way I can have some real badass original wheels.
