dr47 Posted March 31, 2019 Report Posted March 31, 2019 i have a 51 plymouth with original rims that have tubes in the tires ,is there any steel wheels that i can put on the car so i can run tubeless tires and original wheel covers any other mopar or ford rims that will fit ,thank you Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted March 31, 2019 Report Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) I just use the large diameter valve stems and get rid of the tubes... works fine. Just did this on a 1950 Chrysler wagon with the large oval tube holes. Edited March 31, 2019 by Dodgeb4ya 1 Quote
58prostreet Posted March 31, 2019 Report Posted March 31, 2019 I do same as Dodgeb4ya on my 52 dodge stock rims.. I use the oval valve stems and have no problem with leaks.Make sure bead on rim is clean. Bob Quote
soth122003 Posted April 1, 2019 Report Posted April 1, 2019 Same here except I cleaned the inside bead area and the center area then painted it to seal against any air leaks. Some rims have riveted center hubs. Joe Lee Quote
dr47 Posted April 1, 2019 Author Report Posted April 1, 2019 thanks for reply , my center hubs are riveted will that matter? Quote
soth122003 Posted April 1, 2019 Report Posted April 1, 2019 Clean them with a wire brush and paint them with an enamel based paint. Mine have been holding air for over 6 years. Joe Lee Quote
JerseyHarold Posted April 2, 2019 Report Posted April 2, 2019 Would it be a good idea to smear a little silicone sealer around the perimeter of each wheel rivet to help seal against air leaks? Quote
