wide wires
GOOD evening guys
I would like to put wire wheels on my 36 Tudor. So far I can find plenty of 16 x 4 ford wheels no problem. Most at a decent price, but I would like to run at least 8's in the rear and 4 in the front. I've seen wide wires on cars, but I can't seem to find anyone that widens them. Some of the newer ones don't even make A wheel for the 5.5 pattern. I guess my question should be - How can I widen my wire wheels. |

Re: wide wires
A 1936 Ford car should have had wide 5 wheels (10 1/4" bolt circle), and
there are NO wire wheels made for a wide 5 bolt circle. Your '36 car must have been converted to the 5.5 bolt circle. Check with Rally America in CA. (Gary Mclean) They are the wire wheel people. Phone: (559) 322-2128 .

Re: wide wires
Also post your question on HAMB as that group might have better information on what you are trying to do.

Re: wide wires
There is a company located in NJ that will widen the 32 to 35 Ford 5 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern wire wheels. Can't recall their name, but someone here should know.

Re: wide wires
How far is it from your house to Stockton Wheel? Have you checked with them?
