Technical Halibrand experts please help

With a wide rear axle ?? , the 8" rear wheels are probably too wide. I have a 58' flange to flange rear axle and the 7' Americans with 1/2" positive offset are the limit. I have 225/75 15 on the rear and 195/65 15" on the front on 6" 0"" offset wheels. I still love the Halibrands against a black car !! Later Bill

 

I didn't realize that the Speedways were rare?

 

.............Are they?

 

I don't know if the Speedways are rare or not but, they are the earlier design wheel that has been called the "small window " Halibrand, and the sprints are the later design "big window "ones. The window on the sprint is larger and more square with a disappearing ridge around the window.

 

More recent pictures after some light, hand polishing. They need more work, maybe even professional polishing. I'll keep messing with them.

 

I use Wenol blue on the final polish of HAls I’ve been restoring and selling for years. Every time you polish them they get better. I’ve got a set of 15x5-ish on the front and 8’s on the rear of the ‘40 Chevy convert but I’m using the cone style pressure plates. I’ve always wanted a set of Speedways but never found a set when I had any money.

 

..........Thanks, Charlie Chops.

 

Moose, two more for you!
