Thanks GPster.  I have heard that you need to do more than just have the proper 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern, the wheel also has to register on the drum to keep it from coming loose.

Some guys have said they just bolt them on, and others have said what I mentioned above.  Looking at the back of the '35 wires, it seems there needs to be something to center them in place, like the adapters you mentioned.

I Agree...I remember an article somewhere that explained how the hub "mated" to the brake drums to add rigidity to both...It went on to explain how if the wheels were used on something else they developed cranks in the mounting area. :?:  :?: ..Rod & Custom a few years back maybe  :?:  :?:  ( Before they too started "infomercials".........    )

Yep, that is the problem I remember.  I think someone makes an adapter to accomplish both the bolt pattern and rigidity thing, but I don't know who it is.

That's the adapter he has, I'll try to find out who.
