If you don't allow for this the wheels are not supported correctly and are likely to crack. wheel adapters are available for this, or you can fabricate a ring to replicate the A drum. Ford's 1940-48 are 16", Mercury & Lincoln '49-??? are 15". Some are wider than others.
that is false, In the case of tracker and Suzuki wheels they fit and perform flawlessly.
