I have a '32 Ford and those are not the same hubs and brakes although the bolt pattern is. '32s used 18" wire wheels and a cast drum/hub. '33 used 17" and I think '34 used 16" wire wheels. Anyway, all those tires are available thru places like Coker Tire. The 'B' and 'C' four cylinder Fords used the same tires as the V8. There was a brief period in the '30s ('37 and '38 ?) where Ford got away from the 5.5" (?) bolt circle. The wheels are sometimes called "speed wheels" and have a bolt circle of around 12". I have some of those brake drums and wheels laying around. The Ford spoke wheels have a tendency to break spokes. You should rap each spoke with a light hammer and listen to the tone. They should all sound the same. If your are using a rear axle, you need to understand that the end of the axle shaft is tapered. The hub has to be pulled off the axle. You will see an annular notch where a special puller grabs the hub. Once tension is applied, a swift blow with a 2 pound hammer on the puller screw head will pop them off.
