I noticed one of the reviewers says the wheels worked on a stock '49 3100... Would a '46 3100 have the same suspension geometry?

It seems like it would be a fairly conservative change from the 15x5.5", 0-offset, two-piece lock ring wheels. I think the new wheel would only have about a 1/2" more backspace (considering half the extra 1/2" of wheel width, and 3 mm positive offset).

Some of the things I read about tie rods and the drag link possibly hitting have me a little nervous to just try them, given that I'm operating from a long distance away. Part of my intent is to make it easy for my Mother-in-law to have a friend do a simple wheel/tire swap. I would hate to just guess and complicate things instead of making it easy for the person helping with the labor.

Best,
Michael
