Wheel question

#1 Post by Adam Wright »

Hey everyone-
Stoddard is selling the painted 15 X 4.5's again. But they are saying that they have to be modified for use with B drums. Has anyone heard of this? Or done it?

Here is a link to the wheels?

Adam, I'm pretty certain those are Mangles brand wheels from Brazil. In my experience on Mangles chromies, sometimes you have to grind a bit off the weld beads that hold the center to the rim on the backside. Not a lot, just a bit to get the extra clearance needed on a finned "B" drum. And I've had some just bolt right on as is.
