1950 Buick Super...IS THIS THE CORRECT WHEEL?

**rsvp4sean** · 02-24-2011, 08:22 AM

So I'm ready to drive this thing to AAA to get it registered, but knowing that I had to get a new rim for one of the front tires has me thinking the back are incorrect too. I have attached a picture of what's on there now on both rear tires. Is the middle supposed to push all the way through like the front? If anyone has a picture of theirs that I can compare would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Sean

the original wheel had some holes for a lineup dowel pin in them.

Thanks Charley. I put the one of the know originals on the back and it slide in further than the ones that were on it. So I have two coming from the Buick Bonery in Sacramento. It sucks because 3 of the 4 tires were trailer tires to just roll the thing around.
thanks again for the input.

You obviously want to take pricing into consideration when you make a decision about where you're going to purchase your tires. Take note that should you notice a substantial difference in price at one place than others,I found this here:Keeping a low profile: basics of low-profile tires Making the choice between low-profile and regular tires might seem minor.
