1936-1939 Ford V8 16 Inch Wheel

I have a couple of sets of 15X6 wide five wheels for the front of my dirt track modified. They don't look like that picture though (no artillery effect for example). You used to be able to buy or make whatever was wanted or needed; the sources have all but dried up, though. We would also cut down 16" centers and weld them into 15" shells as well.

Yes you will need the early drums to convert to the stock wheels according to your photo.

Stock cars [racers] have adopted the wide pattern- still in use. Their 'adapters' use 5/8th " lug studs tho. I have a set of 14" wheels for Sale. Newc

The car came with inboard drums that were all but gone. I am going to put all new brake hardware and shoes. Can I switch to outboard drums?
