Stude Light Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 20 hours ago, rjp said: Looking for a studebaker 1923 light6 wood spoke rim. the tire size was 31x4 Thanks The 1920-1922 cars used 24" Kelsey rims and came with 32"x4" tires (rims were common with Special and Big Sixes), although they also offered a clencher type rim for a 815x105mm tire but I've never come across one. The 1923 cars used two different types of 23" rims - for wheels with 8 hub bolts (p/n 120021) and for wheels with 12 hub bolts (p/n 120538). They originally came with 30"x3-1/2" tires. The 1924 cars (which I believe yours is) came with either 23" rims with 12 hub bolts (p/n 120538) for the high pressure tires 30"x3-1/2" tires or a 21" wheel/rim with the balloon tires.

agrassi Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Hi RJP, Not sure if this is what you are looking for? I have 2. The hub size is smaller than my Special 6, so always assumed they were Light 6. - Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
