unknow wheel

Friends

I attach two pictures of a wheel of an american aicraft. Who can assist in matching it with its type? It must be a aircraft which came down in the near of Turnhout (province of Antwerp) at the north of Belgium.

thanks !

Re: unknow wheel

Hayes made wheels for many different aircraft during the war. What is the wheels diameter and width?

Regards,
Mike

Re: unknow wheel

dear friends

The diameter I did forget to figure out, but as I compare, I roughly say now 70 cm. I'll have to go back for exact measurements.
In addition, I can already post a full view of the wheel, as asked.

thaznks already for your interest.
Grtz
Herman

Re: unknow wheel

Looks like it could be a wheel for a Stearman or the AT-6/SNJ/Harvard. The four cam locks hold on the wheel cover.

Here's the covers,
