On the subject of aftermarket wheels: I was leafing through my Sunbeam
Specialties catalog, and I noticed that they sell spacers for rear wheels.
They say that if you have a certain type of brake drum you *must* use these
spacers or your rear wheels will fall off (not exactly their wording, but
close). They recommend that even if you don't have the deadly brake drums you
still use the spacers with any and all aftermarket wheels. I've got 13"
Shelby wheels on my Tiger. Do I need these spacers?
