Wire wheel axles are a couple of inches shorter than stud wheel so if =
you put standard wire wheels on standard WW hubs on a chrome bumper car =
the rear tyres will likely foul the arches. RB cars are usually OK =
unless they have been lowered. There are conversion hubs that bring the =
wheels in by about half an inch or so, but you can still get fouling =
especially on the left. BT, DT, eventually got a pukka wire wheel axle =
with my aftermarket Dunlop WW wheels but they still rub a bit with 175s =
as the inset doesn't seem to be as much as the originals, the rear track =
being 1270mm instead of 1250mm.
Minilites may be OK if the inset is suitable, but really you won't know =
with either wheel type until you get them on the car as suppliers =
statements on inset etc. aren't always correct.
Used hubs need to be treated with caution, the splines narrow and lean =
over especially at the rear and if left will eventually shear.

Either my wire wheeled 1972 Roadster or 1968 GT will get Minilite =

I=E2=80=99ll need to switch out the hubs for the bolt-ons. =20

Since the hubs are not available new, I=E2=80=99ll have to find used =
hubs.
