Stanley Steam car wheel question
I'm wanting to buy a rim spreader for a 1922 Stanley 7 passenger touring. Not my car but wanted to give it to him as a gift. Would any of the ones out there work or does it have to be bigger than what we use on a Model T.

Re: Stanley Steam car wheel question
In 1922 Stanley made two distinct models, the 735 and the 740. Most 735s used 26" wheels and most 740s used 23" wheels, but time has a way of slipping different parts onto cars, so who knows what size are on the car.
Further, Stanley used lock-ring style rims, not split rims. Still, who knows what is on the car now.
