Re: [MarcosManiacs] Wire wheels

2006-01-11 by Stephen Spalding

I had Dayton build my wire wheels, we used the 3.75" bolt-on adapters to fit the wire wheels. The 3.75" was not used on many cars (some Lotus and the Spitfire). Several owners who have up graded their wheels have moved to 4" all the way around, which gives you more rim and therefore tire options. I had my wheels build 14" so I could have more tire options, several owners have now moved to 15" rims, given tire options now on the market. I would recommend you focus on the wire wheel size and tires you want on the car (how wide of rim and offset are also important, given the limited space for clearance) then make the changes to the hubs (if any) as required.
Owners who have made the hub changes would be most helpful (know Don L. made this move), if you wish more info on my wheels let me know!
Regards
Stephen

Who has any experience with wire wheels for a 3 Litre?
My main problem is the hubs, where can I find these for a Ford axle.

Any help is welcome. Thanks!!!
