Regular car wheels why must you use adapter plates when putting car wheels from a lat

[michael a]

Thinking about putting different wheels on my 31a was wondering what those plates were all about

The drums are not flat for a steel wheel and the stock back shock rods need the clearance.

What wheels are you talking about switching to?

This may explain the problem (assuming you are using the stock mechanical brake drums and hubs): https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showt...=1#post1286293 Once you add the adapters you may find the studs are too short, check before going too far. I would stick with the bent spoke Kelsey wheels, they bolt right on.

Kelsey's are as SCARCE as HENS' LIPS--Besides, they were loose REJECTS & they had to BEND the spokes, to TIGHTEN them---When I told Friend, Dennis, that, he wouldn't E-Mail me for a WEEK!

If they were rejects how did they grow the extra 8 spokes? Unless there are multiple ford 16in wheels. But the ones im looking at are 32 spoke. Im offten wrong and I mean no disrespect. I did some searching and could find no 40 spoke straight spoked ford wheels. Only the 40 spoke bent kesley's.
