Anyone wiht a Front Wheel/Rim that can help with some diemensions ?

[Jan Larsson]

I got my spare rims in the back of my storage unit and I'm in need of a few dimensions for a project I'm working on so if any of you happen to have a front wheel/rim easily accessible and could help wiht some dimensions would be great.

Note have to be a FRONT wheel/rim.

4 Dimensions needed (see photos with a quick mockup of what I'm after):

1 - Hub mounting area diameter (so back of wheel); what's the largest diaemeter there without sticking outside the edge.

2 - Total width of rim (so back face to front face)

3 - Outside diameter of rim (so largest outside diameter)

4 - Back face of rim to face of hub mounting area


Hope this all makes sence; I would need as precise dimensions as possible; any help much appreciated.

Would be willing to help but my original fronts still have tires mounted on them, so the measurements would not be accurate. I only have 2 rear rims without tires on them.

I believe #1 and #3 could be measured on a rear since those dimensions would be the same front and rear

#1- 6 1/8 inch #2-8 7/8 inch #3-17 1/4 inch #4-4 1/2 inch

Excellent, very much appreciated !!

Looking to fab a coffee table stand to bolt a wheel too then put a glass top onto it ... currently working out the dimensions of it all so I can get the material together and then get it welded (with bolts as wheel studs) before powder coating it all.

Will take a while but will post pictures and final dimensions etc. at some point.

Again thanks for taking the time to help much appreciated :burnrubber:

Got all the bits in and had it all welded together this morning.

Laser cut base and "hub", correct bolts so I can bolt the wheel on there using original lug nuts etc.

Anyway here's what I got right now ... will be powder coated when I have time to drop it off at my local place I use.

I'll post up dimensions etc at a later stage just incase someone is interested to get this done as well. Great for any man cave :beach:

Very cool idea Jan. Now I know what to do with the 2 non dimpled ones I have. You going to put glass on the top for like a table??

My wife thinks that I'm nuts...
Jan - how about if I show her this so that she knows that it is not just me?

I think that this looks great. Fun idea.
We have 2 "hose hangers" (1 in the garage and 1 in the shed) made out of "slightly damaged" aluminum wheels - they are sturdy and look cool.

I've not showed my wife yet, but I need somewhere to park my drink on my side of the sofa so I'm sure she'll be thrilled I sorted that problem out

Will be a glass top on there, slightly larger diameter than the wheel but not much. Will also look at wrapping the wheel were the tire sits with black leather making it look like the tire is on it.

Anyway now needs powder coating black and a wheel refurbished or I'm might just buy a brand new repro front wheel to use.

Got NOS centre cap, emblem and lug nut covers as well as the correct grey valve stem cap.

Once all done I'll post a few pics up.
