Also be careful that your rims don't hang up on the wheel weights.

If you are using 1935 and earlier wire wheels you will need to used a spacer to get the wheels to seat properly on the drum/hub. The rims will bolt on and look like they fit but will probably develop cracks at the lug nut holes.

Thanks, Charlie. I have the set up on the right. Drums match the old drums.
