Anyone done this? My 48 Champion has the 4 lug wheels and the rims are rusted out pretty badly.
The tubes wouldn't last long in the shape they're in. Since they're a unique center design (similar to the so-called artillery wheels) I'd like to use them.
I have seen hotrodders take the centers out of wheels, turn them around for a "reversed" wheel.
Other places widen the rim for bigger tires. Why not use modern rims with my old centers?
What junk yard rims might work with the old Champion centers.
Or do I just need to go out with a tape measure and start measuring?
Or is it not worth doing? Better to find some good originals?
