Wheel Adapters

Post by bybirius »

Hi everyone,
I'm building a trailer for my AA truck and I'm using a modern electric brake axle with eight lug hubs. I'm trying to make it look period correct so I want to use some extra AA wheels that I have. I know I can get someone to make custom adapters, but I was just wondering - Does anybody know someone who's already made adapters like this? Thanks.

I highly doubt it...Check the load limit of the tires you plan to use before anything...

Possibly redrill the hub flanges/drums for the AA bolt pattern

How about removing the flange to wheel rivets and riveting in the eight lug flange?
