15's on an HJ45

[bull]

here is your problem I believe. Crappy pic..but do you see the indent in the drum by where the studs are. The step up from the indent is what is causing your wheels to not fit properly. That being said I have some 1/4" spacers that would probably fill that void

Is there a wheel that will fit properly without spacers that you know of -- or are we talking about the wheels for disc brakes now...?

 

[swamp-thing]

my drums don't look like those...i wonder if that's an issue too...

IMO, SOR should take them back if they told you they would fit. I had that same problem with wheels from Summit racing and they took them back no questions asked.

I only have 2 disc brake wheels.

SOR took them back...can't say enough about how well they handled it. I did get shafted on shipping, but it could have been worse. Hey Bull, wanna PM me your price on those two wheels? Maybe I can piece together what I need. Cheers!

bummer... I was hoping it would work out for you, Swamp... I'm now looking at the Allied's, similar to the ones Bull used...

 

[swamp-thing]

I think the problem with my lc is that it has ENORMOUS brake drums....seems like putting those SOR wheels on the smaller brake drums ( like the pic above ) may actually work -- not sure though. I definitely need the disc wheels.

 

[warfin]

Swamp, did you settle on a set of wheels for your truck?

Wheels

I have a 1974 HJ45 and 15" wheels are on mine. If you need pictures or I can help please let me know.

EVERYTHING I have ever ordered from SOR has turned out to be the wrong part. They always take them back, but I usually have to drive down there if I want the right part (6 hours).
