Reply to "Wide 5 conversion on long axle spyder? Other options?"

@Chris MacDonald just did this recently. He was able to find a custom set of steel rims where the rear wheel centers were moved outward to allow use of long axles without conversion to short axles. So a new front disc wide5 setup and a set of rear drums and he was on the way.

IF you can find a nice pair of steel wheels and IF you can find someone who can move wheel centers, this is the least expensive way to do it.

However, if you can find some short axles AND axle tubes, it's not as big a deal as people think. Then you can use the nice aluminum wheels available from Vintage Motorcars, Mobelwagen, EMPI et al.
