Re: question of Packard 12 wire whels

I'm not entirely certain I understand the question, but note that the Twelve wheels are different than the Super Eight and Eight. They mounted a wider tire (7.50 x 17 x 6 ply rather than a 7.00 x 17 x 6 ply) and they also have a rolled rim for extra strength, and have threaded spokes and nipples as opposed to welded spokes on the Eight and Super Eight. These wheels were the same from 1933 thru 1936 except that in 35 the valve stem opening was modified for a rubber (rather than steel) inner tube valve stem. All are 6-lug bolt patterns.
