Anyone know what wheels (non stocl) will work with B brakes?

The JGE Rader's i was planning on running hit the snout.

I'm hoping the JGE Torkers will work.

Looking for input.

Thanks

5 lug sprints , 5 spokes and BRM, you can use a spacer if you want to run raders

How thick of a spacer to run the JGE Raders?

I'd like to make some this week

I would suggest posting the same post in the oval or square window forums. As i expect that there would be more experince in running a variety of wheels from people whom have done the drum conversion. I havent personally tried spacing radars, but i have had several people mention spacer since after I had ran into the same problem when I converted drums and discovered radars dont fit. I just opted for a differnt wheel.

I agree, I reposted my forum about the porsche wheels i had question about in the accessory forum and got a answere right away. Wheel/tire forum would simplfy things

I was going to run B brakes with my original raders and it would require 1" spacers

i havent seen the backside of the JGE raders so i dont know for sure, but the issue on the original raders was the back of the spokes where it is attached to the outer barrels

Also with raders, the center snout is small diameter, thats why u sometimes see original raders with the snouts wallowed out to fit on a bus drum because Bus drum snouts are bigger than bug

i believe you would have the same issue with B brakes with the snouts
something to look into

Hope this helps somewhat
