front tire size

[Big Butch]

My 1947 2N has 600x 16 front tires/rims with five lugs&large center hole and not the 19 in . Are these original, after market or a factory/dealer opition? The poor condition of the rims suggests they are could be original.

Butch......nope, notta factory option, OEM is 4.00x19. Maybe a dealer cobble. Lotta re-rims don't gitt good anti-corrosion paint job. ......Dell

the 600 16s were a popular over the counter accessory, from Ford or other vendors. For rough fields, the 400 19 single rib is much better.
