Re: Wheel spacers

[chuckiiikropke <chuckiiikropke@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok here the deal. I have 1inch spacers on the front of my 65 bell 2. The car is 4 wheel drum brakes. I used the ones that bolt to the studs on the drum and you bolt the wheel to the studs on the spacer 10 lug nuts to complete this. They work great I have them on 5 vehicles for different reasons. These cars have been driven hard with them on the front and on the back well over 100 mph so no worries. Don't use the shim ones those are unsafe, they loosen when you drive at least for me they did. Now you can get them less the 1inch but you may have to grind the studs on the drum down to clear the rim. I think your fine with the cragars they have releafs for the longer studs in the cast center. You have to watch so you dont go to wide in the front and the back looks skinny. To me the cragars are the best looking rim but there sizes suck for mopars bolt pattern. So you have to work with it. Hope this helps

Subject: Wheel spacers

There's been a lot of emails about rear wheel tire size lately and I been following them all. But I'm dealing with a front wheel issue. Has anyone used wheel spacers between wheel and drum? Seems with these new tires the 14 inch rim rubs against the upper control arm. So I made a test pair from 3/16 plywood. It works, so now I need to buy alum once. Or get 15" rims. Are they safe to use? I also had to get the tires rebalance as the wheel weights on the rim edge just got ripped off. John Wask....
