The problem is that your wheel center is too small to clear the brake drum, but you knew that. You have to space the wheel out like has been mentioned above. I am running Rally America's spacers on the 9" rear in my T with no problems but it does set the wheel out over an inch. the thing I like about RA's adapters is that they have the support machined in them for the early Ford wheels. No need for additional parts.

I've got the Rally America's on the back right now. I have had some on order with them for almost 3 weeks now....but, they supposedly are waiting on there supplier on there end. Maybe they will be shipping this week?? We'll see?

Thanks for the info, Matt
