<p><font size="+1"><font face="Arial">I should be able to measure a
hub from a wire wheel car and a disc wheel car. One thing I do
know is that the wheel studs are different. I believe the WW
studs are shorter to accommodate the taper on the front side
of the axle that meshes with the taper on the backside of the
WW. I can measure them too.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="+1"><font face="Arial">I wonder what happens if you
use a disc wheel hub with short studs to mount wire wheels?
Does it shorten the overall width such that there is tire/body
interference?</font></font></p>
<p><font size="+1"><font face="Arial">I also assume that since
Bugeyes never came from the factory with wire wheels (only
disc wheels) that the diff housing is as wide as the later
model's disc wheel car. That would mean that later model WW
axles would be shorter and would engage the splines in the
diff gears a half inch less on each side. Anybody have any
experience with later model WW axles being used on a Bugeye
diff assembly? My conversion plan is to use later WW axles
with the disc wheel hubs but with the shorter wheel studs. Has
anybody ever done this?<br>
