Re: Need advice on my ‘37 rims & tires
There is a lot of "old wives' tales" justification used these days to qualify the supposed need for tubes. Too many guys are proving that that idea just doesn't hold water. I like to "butter" a small coating of JB Weld or other epoxy-type sealer over each of the rivet heads inside the drop portion of the wheel just to make sure there will be no leaks there. With clean, smooth inner beads, these wheels seal tubeless tires very well. Your 1937 16" X 4" wheels differ from the 16" X 4" and 16" X 4-1/2" wheels in my pictures ONLY by the centers which have different bolt patterns. The hoops are identical in design characteristics. DD
