Wheel spacers needed

[Chris Haynes]

My 750X16 tires on widened rims rub on the body of my Tudor when cornering. I can see I have room to move the wheels outward at least an inch. My problem is trying to find wheel spacers with the two different mounting surface levels. Anybody know where to get them?
TIA,
Chris

I think Rally America has what you are looking for 5x 5 x 1/2 I think 1 1/4 thick

I don't think what you need is available but not a big deal to modify the available early Ford 5.5" wheel to newer 5.5" hub spacers that are available. A relief needs to be machined into the inner face of the spacer so it will properly fit the Model A hub. I would give Jimmy at Rally America a call - very knowledgeable. Their adapter/spacers are steel I believe whereas Speedway's are aluminum.

Spacers like that are a big no-no here. Even if they weren't, I wouldn't use them. They change the loadings on bearings and not in a good way.
You say that the wheels rub when you corner. I assume from that they don't normally. Maybe a Panhard bar is what you need. There was a thread about them quite recently.

Thank you all for your ideas.
