Can some please tell me what those dimension are?
Thank you, Joe

I can't give you those dimensions right off the top of my head, but I CAN tell you that they will vary a few thousandths between each wheel. One size does not necessarily fit all, here.

WHOOPS: I read that to mean support spacers between the wheel and hub when using later drums with wire spoke wheels. My bad.

You talking model A to 35? or wire to 40s?

Not sure why folks want to confuse with answers to questions that they don't understand.

This is a "one-year-only", 1935 Ford 16" wire wheel.

"Re: 1935 Wire Wheel Backspacing and offset"

Simple questions:

What is BACKSPACING?

What is OFFSET?

Sorry Joe, that I don't have those figures, nor a wheel to measure such!

I have one loose in my shop. Do you still need the measurements?

flatford8 · 08-29-2022, 02:57 PM

I have a couple sets of what I think is in Coops picture.I’ll check in later to see if you got measurements……Mark

flatford8 · 08-29-2022, 06:03 PM

I come up with 3 1/8 backspace and 9/16 positive offset. Again, as long as these are the same wheels you’re talking about........Mark

I took some 3/16 rod !made a ring the size that fit the rim ,welded it togeather to form ring
then laid in in wheel,put a straight across the holes from one to the other then ground the ring to be flush with lug holes,,made a little clip to hold them in place when you put wheel on,,,I believe it helped some with the wiggle,I only needed them on front.
