'61 109" Correct 16" Rim???

[parrie]

While removing the old tires from the rims (16") on my 109 I discovered that I have an odd-ball rim on the truck...all the rims are the same width but one of the 4 has less an offset than the other 3 by +/-3/4". I recently purchased a used rim from our host to be used as a spare but wouldn't ya know it matches the same offset as the odd-ball. Does anyone know what the correct rim offset should be for a '61 109"? Thanks

109 used two different 16" wheels. 272309 is a 1 3/4 offset, 569690 is 1 5/16 offset. Part number should be stamped on wheel.

Thanks for the info. Any thoughts if there would be a difference between II & IIa? Mine is very early IIa w/ both II and IIa parts.

What are the part numbers on the wheels?

At the moment there is 3 or 4 layers of paint on the fronts and a fair amount of rust on the backs...no numbers visible yet. Stay tuned...
