trini Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I would like to mount the spare tire on the front fender of my 1928 Dodge senior. There is no well to acomodate the tire . The car has wood spoke wheels. Any thought about how to go about it ? Is it worth it ? Thank you guys for a reply or two. Harry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kings32 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I did my 1930 Oakland with two side mounts used 1930 Model wells . Worked out great tell . Kings32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave39MD Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 You would also need to get all the special hardware and braces for a side mount tire, They don't just use a well but braces to support the weight when running down the road. I rounded all the stuff up for my Chevrolet but it was a chore. One other option is getting one of the wells the Chevy or maybe Ford suppliers sell and have it put into the fender. Then come up with the supports to keep the weight of the wheel and tire from tearing your fender off. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find a parts car with a side mount and then fabricate the mounting as the wood wheel would mount differently than a wire wheel to a side mount fender.

DFeeney Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 If you put in a tire well on your Dodge you have to put it in the right spot and depth or the Factory side mount hold down brackets won't line up. I would try to look at another car and measure before you star the process. Side mount hardware is hard to find. It helps to be a Dodge club member and network with others owners of the same year.

zeke01 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I have a car with side mounts. Two rims and tires on each side. I worked on the vacuum tank for about an hour today and spent most of that time wishing that I didn't have them. They are a pain to take off but also a pain to work around.

nearchoclatetown Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I am not too sure DB ever put side mounts on with wood wheels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trini Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 Thank you all very much for your support but I think I will leave the car as original as I can. At least I own a piece of history. Cheers, Harry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
