[FC] Not one, not two, but THREE rim sizes for FCs!!!!

[Merv Krull and or Loretta Prosser]

Hi all!

Actually, maybe only one correct size for FCs, but since all these rims came
from FCs, it may be reasonable to assume that there are actually three (or
more?) rim sizes. A true FC rim can be distinguished from a regular Chevy rim
quite easily.... the regular Chevy rims have a ridge where a full size hupcap
would fit and FC rims do not.

This is what I have found:

Rim A    7 inches outside to outside, 3 3/4 inch backset, 2 5/8 inch frontset

Rim B    6 3/8 inch outside to outside, 3 3/4 inch backset, 2 1/8 inch
frontset

Rim C    5 15/16 inch outside to outside, 3 1/2 inch backset, 1 15/16 inch
frontset

*outside to outside in the measure from the outside edges of the rim
*backset is the measure from the outside of the back of the rim to the
mounting surface
*frontset is the measure from the outside of the front of the rim to the lip
on the centre hole

And which one is the right one?





Rim C is the size of the rim that came with the spare tire in my 62
Greenbrier, so I am taking that one as the correct one.

Any theories about the other sizes?
-Camper versions?
-Industrial versions?
-??????????????????????

Just another ho hum day in paradise!
