I have an early bus (60) with the OG style drums.

What 15" Wheels will work on the front with these???

Sprint stars?
BRM's?

Anything with the same large 5 stud pattern.

Both the two you mentioned will, plus a whole load more.

Thanks for the reply. I should have been more detailed about my post.

The early bus drums have a large snout that a lot of wheels will not fit over.
My repop raders will not fit with out spacers and machine work.
I have also tried AE five spokes.

Dose anybody have an idea of what may fit...

Thanks Billy

you can run 5 spokes but need a 1" spacer. what i did was get a 944 n/a disk brake set up from oldspeed for my 62 bus.

or have the snout of the drum machined down some so the wheel will fit, or grind away at it yourself, as long as the wheel sits flush you should be fine. If you are going with empi style 5 spokes, use the american racing wheel or empi and stay away from the rocket versions
