:(my 28 has disk wheels and one of the four rims on the car and the spare are narrower than the others (2.5 vs. 3.0 inches) The narrow rim that is mounted wobbles and has signs of fretting around the rim to disk interface. My question is ; until I can find two additional 3.0 inch rims, is there any way I can safely drive using the 2.5 inch rims?

Hi jwp,

I do not advise driving the car in the current condition. The 2.5 rims are for 1927 and earlier. If you check closely you will find the clamp lugs(Jaxon)are barely touching the rim and at a poor angle to secure the wheel. In order to mount the 2.5 rim on your 28 disc wheels required the removle of the dimple on the rim or grinding a slot on the disc.

Rims for a 1928 (3.0 inches across) are not that difficult to locate. For your safety----find some.
