drbs Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I have a 1930 Cadillac with wood spokes, what doe's it take to put wire spoke wheels on the front and back. Thanks for your help. drbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscheib Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I believe it is probably similar to Buick, and you would need to change the hubs as they are not the same - wood vs. wire.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Dodges are the same...you need to change the hub/drum setup. Usually, the drum for the wood wheel is different than the drum for the wire wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 And many times the spare wheel carrier stuff is harder to find than the correct hubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 And many times the spare wheel carrier stuff is harder to find than the correct hubs.OH YEAHHHH!!! I had to make a rear spare tire rack for my 1931 Dodge. It looks exactly like the factory item thanks to another Dodge owner sending me photos and dimensions.

Dave Mellor NJ Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I think Model T Fords are interchangeable from wood to wire.Sorry to get away from the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
