I finally got time to make some plates. Some guys were asking about how they bolt up differently. You can remove the outer studs, and press them into the new plate. Assemble the wheel with the plate underneath, and bolt together as normal.
This allows you to mount the wheel on the truck, and not have it sit inboard towards the springs.
The plates work both ways so the choice is yours.

it looks a though the wheel is covering the holes for the studs?
you need to machine the Hemmt wheels to fit these and any other adapter plates on the market. What this plate does is effectively remove the machine work and precise welding needed to weld in a new center.
With these you can either place them behind the rim and pound the studs back in, or place it in front of them and bolt them on using the Hemmt's nut's on the studs (sounds weird doesn't it ). After that you can place the tire on the wheel and bolt your new wheels on your Deuce.
This is an ideal design as Hemmt rims are everywhere for super cheap. It beats having to pay 350 plus bucks/piece for A3 rims or more for other guys's wheels.
I'll be making a step by step guide/review on these adapter plates and will post pictures and all that fun stuff we SS'ers like once i get my set on my truck.
