Found (4) 21" chevy disc wheels, but no rims. They are setup to mount on a T...(2) of them have 26/27 T rear hubs and break drums and (2) have T front hubs. Does anyone know if Ford 21" rims will work? Thanks, Dan

They will fit,but you might have to relocate the stem hole .

I bought a pair of aluminum spacers at Hershey a few years ago. I was told you need them for the front hubs. Is this true or false?

I had spacers on rear to clear 26-27 drums.none really needed on front except i wanted them to match.

Are there spacers made for a Model A? Where can I find a set?

i had a friend that had a machine shop make them but I would say some common spacers could be bought from many aftermarket sources.

There was a Hemmings article a couple of years ago of a T center door sedan with disk wheels which were written off as being "aftermarket." Based on this thread, I have to assume they were Chevy. They made the car! Are there any more pictures of this car?? I'd love to see some details of the suspension.

There were several aftermarket disk wheel manufacturers.the chevrolet wheels are in my opinion the most readily available.
I will try to find some of the front bracket.the rear lowering was just the antique t motorsports place on ebay.their rear frame step ups.
