I have several '30 wire wheels. FYI they are not the same as '31 wire wheels. The centers of the '30 rims are deeper and more narrow than the '31s. Yes they both are for 19" tires.

Will need to check to see if I have a couple of extras. Need to keep one complete set for a '30 that I am dickering on.

Thanks Chipper

Will 31 rims fit on a 30? The 4 rims I have are off a 31 and my car is a 30. I bought 2 more that were supposed to be off 31 seems they must be 32. How can I tell for sure which ones I have 30 or 31.

Thanks Imfalco,

Does anyone have a measurement. The four I have are all the same, I don't have any to compare them to. I am looking for one or two for spares so I guess It wouldn't really make a big diference if they are the same or not, I am not looking to win the concours or anything

I recently sold my best five and have a few left, that are straight, but slightly pitted.

What would you want for one of them? The set of 4 I have are definately 31,s but I don't think anyone one would really notice the spare is a 30. I am going to try to go to a swap meet in Jefferson, wi this weekend coming up, maybe I'll have some luck there also. Probably come home with a bunch of other stuff I really don't need also.

Thanks for the information also.

Until I discovered and researched the '30 and '31 wire wheels I had never noticed the difference. Neither had several other VCCA members a few with much more experience that I.

Of course now I can spot the difference quickly and actually look to see how many are mixed on '30 and '31 Chevys I see.
