Default Will 16" KH Wheel Fit in 34 Spare Tire Cover?

I'm planning to mount 16 inch bent spoke Kelsey Hayes wheels on my 34 coupe with 16 X 600 tires. I'm wondering if I will have problems when trying to mount a 16 inch KH wheel in a 1934 spare tire cover? Has anyone tried this before?

Thanks for your comments.

I don't know about a KH wheel, but I have a 600-16 on a 35 Ford wheel, in a 34 metal tire cover, and it fits like it belongs there.

I had a 16" Kelsey with a '33 tire cover on my '33. Fits OK.

I take it you are asking about KH bent spoke wheel, as most, if not all of Ford wheels are KH.

I have a 16" KH bent spoke inside the 33 spare tire cover on the back of my 33 phaeton. No problem.
