Maxwell Tires and Rims Questions

[hddennis]

Fellows, I'm looking at some tires to get my project on rubber again. The tires are 30 x 3 1/2 and come premounted on Model T Ford rims. I'd like to know from you guys if Model T rims will fit my 1917 Maxwell model 25? I realize the mounting lugs are different but these rims don't have any on them and since I'm buying these on the computer I'd like to know if the rims help my restoration or are just dead weight to increase shipping charges. Anybody have any experience in this area? Thanks, Howard Dennis

Ok, I've done a little diging for you and found out that the demountable wheel assembly used on your 1917 was used thru 1919. The model T rim won't work on the stock wood wheel without modification. I have a 1919 and took a picture of the rim locator on the wheel and the rim,but I can't seem to add it to this message. I would be glad to sent the pictures in an email. Randy Witz
