Re: Hate loosing hubcaps

There are 2 different hubcaps used for the 1948-50 models, depending on the wheel rim width.

The hubcaps for the 6" wide rims used for Super and Custom 8 models have an inner ring that is at the same level as the outer edge when a straightedge is placed across the back side. These hubcaps will fit on the narrower rim but there will be a gap between the outer edge and the wheel.

Hubcaps for the 5-1/2" wide rim used for Standard and Deluxe 8 models have an inner ring that is between 3/8" and 1/2" lower than the outer edge when a straightedge is placed across the back side. These hubcaps will go on the wider rim but the clips will not fully grip the inner ring with the result that the hubcap will come off easily.
