I have Denman tires on my 1930 Deluxe Roadster. Tried to remove the right hand spare to help access to carburetor. Could not remove tire from the fender without letting the air out, and even then the sidewall fouled against the edge of the upright plate. Next step will be to remove the castle nut to remove the plate, then press out the carriage bolt / lug bolts, and slightly enlarge the square holes in the plate so the carriage bolts can be slipped in and out. I love working on my Model A because it’s so satisfying to fix things. Also it provides the perfect excuse to buy new tools.
Wish me luck.
