: Hello,
:
: I just got some 14*6 (5 on 4 inch bolt pattern)
: Cragar S/S mags for my 63 Dart /6.
:
: I've got the correct lugnuts (7/16 left and
: right hand thread, .80 shank length, .58
: shank diameter, 7/16 20 tpi, etc..).
:
: The wheels fit fine on the back, but on the
: front the little balance weights on the
: perimeter of the brake drum are interfering
: with one of the "spokes" of the
: mag. Thus the mags didn't "seat"
: properly and I could not safely install
: them.
:
: Has anyone run into this problem before? What
: is the cure? Are there special washers that
: are used to offset the wheels from the drum
: enough to clear the drum weights?
:
: I was soooo looking forward to having some real
: good tires on my car (I'm running 185 80
: 13's right now). Traction is limited, to say
: the least!!!
:
: Help!
:
: k

: I had the same problem and I knocked off the
: counterweights without any problems.
