Wheel Info ?

Are all the hubs the same on all "T" autos ? and will any other brand of wheel fit our hubs ? Thanks again in advance for any and all answers !! jhawk

The wooden spoked wheels are all permanently bolted to the hubs. There are variations in wheels & hubs over the years but they all fasten on the same way. The 26/27 wire wheels are removable like modern wheels & have their own hubs to suit. These hubs will fit many earlier models but usually look out of place on an earlier car.

The T wires look like model A wheels but they will not interchange.

There are adaptors to use model A wheels that seem to have varied opinions on how well they work.

There were many aftermarket wheel makers who supplied hubs & wheels to fit a T.

Currently there are wheels available designed to bolt to the wooden spoke type hub. They are very attractive & work well. Above all they are safe! see;

The early hubs; rear was for straight axle (not tapered) for both front and rear the flanges were smaller in diameter other wise what Jack said.
