I have never seen that. Any chance someone widened the rims and put them together wrong?

On all four wheels? Can you post pictures of the wheels?

I’ve never heard of reversed wire wheels. This is what it should look like;

1935 Ford 16" Wheel with Ford Script Tyre. Notice the position of the Valve Stem.

I've given up trying to work out what other people have done.

Only the person that did it can tell us.

Where did you get that spacer from? How thick is it and what year car are you putting those rims on? Is it needed?

That spacer or support is needed when putting 32-35 wire wheels on the hydraulic drums.Speedway sells them.

Seems like it would be fun to check pressure and add air.

Maybe these wheels were the type with bolt in removable spokes and someone assembled them backwards?
