You may not believe this, but since the wheels have 4 bolt holes, they probably were made for the Shay 50th Anniversary Model A reproduction cars made in the late 1970's. The Shay reproduction Model A's have 4 bolt holes because the Shay used Ford Pinto brakes (and most other chassis components).Why in the world they picked 18" wheels and tires (used only on 1932 Fords) may always remain a mystery.
Thus, these wheels and tires will only fit a Shay, or you could make a Pinto look VERY unusual.
