My wide 5 rims are rubbing the rear spring shackle. Does anyone make a spacer plate 3/8" -1/2" ? This is on a '36 rear with QC under a '34 coupe. I know they make them for VW. Thanks Terry
I’m sure a machine shop could make you one. Do you have enough lug stud to thread on with a 1/2 in spacer?
Check with the oval track suppliers. Wide 5 is a mainstay in dirt track racing. I’ve seen a couple of different types of spacers for wide 5 in Speedway’s catalog. One type is like a nut that threads onto the studs behind the wheel. Another type is a little funky. It’s a casting I think that bolts to the hub and has 5 studs offset between the hub studs that you bolt the wheel to. Not sure I’d trust that type. There’s probably someone who makes a ring that is placed between the hub and wheel, but I’ve never seen one like that
