I think the B has 5 bolts on a 4.5 inch circle pattern.. Here is a list of Auto Rim sizes... your looking for the RED box.----- FORD Explorer / Edge / Taurus..

Some of the rims are going to be pretty WIDE for a B..... Look for the DONUT spares.

If I remember, Dad put a VW Beetle rim on the front of our B at one time.

That would require an adapter of some sort as the early Bugs used a BIG 5 lug pattern and the newer Bugs used a 4 lug pattern

Go for narrow style wheels for easier steering. One of my Ferguson TO35s has car tires and power steering would help it.

Go to Jegs, order up some draglite wheels and mount frontrunners on em.  You know you want to.
