    Looking to use 4 1/2 x 5- 1935 plymouth wheels on ford bolt 5 1/2x5 hubs. Anyone have any bad/good feedback on the ones offered by Speedway?

    u looking to run some artillery wheels or something? i have early plymouth steelies on my A and they don't seem so special that i would use adapters to put 'em on, is why i ask. artillery is an entirely different story.

    just remember... when you use spacers or adapters to keep an eye on them, re-tighten often!

    or....

    The wheels are from a 34 plymouth. They are 16 inch and have 5 x 4 1/2 bolt pattern. They kinda have an artilary wheel look to them. I'm looking to use them on my 27 T coupe using Ford ford hubs and banjo rear. I'll try to bet photos tonight

    Still apologizing for my spelling errors in that thread... :-( I was a little bummed when I wrote it then... so be kind.

    Wow checked your post on the Plymouth. How some people have time to pick at spelling mistakes on a site dedicated to the hobby.

    Thanks for all the info.
