  1. Your best bet is a local machine shop, but you’ll need to remove the tire. I did it myself because I didn’t take much material off. It was while ago, but I believe I got router bit for Aluminum ( carbide tip) cutting bevel trim 45 degree x 31/32. Check around for other expert advice. Hope that helps.
  2. I put some Riddler 695 on my 63 Riv with factory drum brakes. I had the same situation. They didn’t seat snug against the center bore. All I needed was about 1/2 mm. I took a metal router and took 1/2 mm off the top edge of the Riddler and it fit great without spacers.
  3. @RivNutThanks. I’m hoping I can get away with the 4.5 back spacing on the back, since I buoghtbthose rims. What back spacing would you recommend for the front?
  4. @steelman I found 2 Ridler 695 on Craigslist and the guy let me try them out. They are 18x9.5 with 4.5 back space. The center bore is 3 3/8 and seemed to fit over the 63 drum brake hub. I assume I would be good to go with those for the back. Just need to find some left hand thread lugs and the right tires.
  5. I have a 63 and a 65. I need a rear bumper for the 63. What other bumper do you have?
  6. I have a 63 Riviera with original drum brakes and considering the Riddler 695, 18x8 rims with 235,55,18 tires for a total height of 28.2”. I believe the original tires were 225,75,15 with a height of 28.3”. Based upon what I’m reading here I should be good with this tire and wheel combo without spacers. True?
