"A" wheels on a 48 rear?
Hey all- I DID the search thing,found a lot of usefull info,but would like some clarification..I'm using a 48 rear in my roadster,and have 19'' wheels. The 'hub" of the wheel rests nicelly agains the drum,and have plenty of threads to tighten,but is a spacer required as to not collapse the wheel? I also have early hubs in the front=37-40+,and want my spokes.
Solid wheels seem good to go(40 ford),but Q'ing the spokes because of the back of the wheel(lug/taper) in the hole. Just do not want to find out the hard way!. Thanks if this has been re-visited over and over. -Kid |

I am a HAMB regular.... Just thought this might be the place,as more focussed on A's in general. And yes- those were the spacers that i would be refering to.
What jives with what was my Q. Thanks. |

While there are members here that can help with modified questions the greatest number of members for modified questions are on the sister site HAMB.

Yes you need an adapter. This will probably answer your question:

Re: "A" wheels on a 48 rear?
Model A hubs were not flat where the wheel bolts onto, they had a step in them. This step must be matched in order to keep the wheel from flexing and eventually cracking. Putting washers behind each stud is not the answer!
