When you say 'wide bolt pattern wheels' do you mean wide 5 hubs? With the bolts way outside like a volkswagen?
Wide5 was from '37 to 39? and were the transition hubs from mechanical brakes to hydraulic. You might have '37 spindles, are they round where the backing plate bolts up?
Are your hubs 2 piece? where the drum and hub seperate? and you want to cut them loose? let me know.
