Now you got it figured!
Do you have a link to the 1 1/4 spacers you bought?

Re: Unexpected disk brake - wheel problem
 

I bought them on eBay since I couldn't find 7/16-20 studs with a 6 by 5.5 bolt pattern (to match my lugs) on Speedway or Summit.....they may have them but they made it hard to find.

Here is a link to what I bought - https://www.ebay.com/itm/262252146185

Yeah, #1 reason I was disappointed given what I spent for them and the tires. I'd prefer the ones I bought, so the spacer/adapter should allow me to save my current investment.

Thanks!

Maybe!
Sorry to complicate things but best to be safe.
They’ll work to get you a roller for around the shop but possibly not safe to be driven on the road.
From your pic, your axles are lug centric. Your wheels are hub centric.
Your wheel adaptors are hub centric.
The wheel design is different for a lug versus hub centric rim.
Here’s a link to help with that.

You Buy longer studs at the local NAPA not through Summet or Speedway.

They have 16 pages of 7/16 lug studs listed. https://www.napaonline.com/en/search...%20&referer=v2

Re: Unexpected disk brake - wheel problem
 

geezer#99, How can you tell the spacers are hub centric? They look like they have tapered seats. The link does not appear to say specifically. Maybe there is a visual clue I am missing, but I have not had much to do with spacers.
I think I need hub rings for my wheels before I drive it so I want to learn more.

the wheels are not hub centric? - if this is the wheel in question https://www.summitracing.com/parts/usw-52-5660n

Mr48: he said he had trouble finding spacers with the right thread, not longer lugs

Re: Unexpected disk brake - wheel problem
 

Seems I got it backwards!
I assumed the conical style lug was used with hub centric wheels.
More research brings up a better link.
Seems his new spacers will work well with his wheels.
Apoligies for the confusement.

Gracias!

Re: Unexpected disk brake - wheel problem
 

Actually, if you filter the 16 pages down to just studs that are 7/16-20 there are sixteen choices of varying lengths and knurl sizings. If I decide to throw out the spacers/adapters that I just bought and remove the calipers, rotors, brackets, and axle shafts to use the press to punch out six studs (on each side), so that I can press in six new longer studs and then reassemble everything so that I can use a different spacer and/or washers, I'll head to Napa.

That is indeed the wheel, luckily I must have bought them before the latest inflationary price increase/gouging. I've had them for several months and paid less than that price, thankfully.

you got it figured out!

Re: Unexpected disk brake - wheel problem
 

My bad! The back of a chrome wheel sometimes doesn't look smooth

Re: Unexpected disk brake - wheel problem
 

No worries, I love your idea on powder coating. Now if I could just convince my wife to let me powder coat in the kitchen......LOL

Re: Unexpected disk brake - wheel problem
 

That’s easy!
Buy her a new stove for Xmas and use the old one in the shop.
