Ok, here are a couple shots, last one is spare under the bed. I measured and if anything the rears are smaller, not by much.. they are definitely different the fronts have the bead at more of a 90 degree angle and if you run your finger in toward the center there is a distinct grove where the back wheels don't, a little confused because the spare has a groove as well, but not the sharper angle at the bead..grumble grumble...The guy who "helped" my uncle a decade ago with "restoring" this, looks like he kept the original wheels and threw on whatever he had laying around his garage..The only wheel that looks to be original is the one under the bed, the others don't look to have ever been white.
