    I'm using stock 16" spoke ford wheels on my project truck. I have a ford 9 inch rear end with 5 on 5 1/2 bolt patter which is prefect for my wheels, but the center hub hits on the drum and holds the wheel out about an 1 1/2". I believe this rearend is out of a truck because of the big bolt patteren. Is there a smaller drum i can use to solve my problem? Or any other way I can get these wheels to fit my 9 inch rear end without spacing the wheels out :eek:

    No, Sorry
    Even the smaller 8" rears require a 1" spacer.
    Only use the wires with 40-48 drums
