Title: Will ‘31 V-12 wheels fit ‘31 V-8?
Post by: yachtflame on November 06, 2023, 10:17:43 AM
 Does anyone know for sure if 1931 V-12 wheels will fit a 1931 Lasalle for the purpose of moving the Lasalle?

From the parts list, I see that the models 345A, 355 A and 370A have the same disc wheels. Same wire wheels on some models too.
Important of course, is the ubs. They are the same for all models: 340, 345A, 353, 355A, 370A and 452A.
Same for the rear...

 Roger is right it should work. 7Pass laSalles used a different wheel ,likely a little heavier. I also checked a 9th edition Hollander(1939). It claimed some models of both used a 7 stud wheel instead of the 8 stud ,a miss print? Easy to check. I would.

Thanks guys. I have four 17" wheels with nice tires from a V-12 though I'm not sure of it's year. I'll just have to take them to see if they'll fit the hubs of my 1931 18" wheeled LaSalle.  I'm wanting to roll the LaSalle to a trailer.

1931 V-12 cars had 18 or 19" wheels. 370-B models had 17" wheels.I'm not sure if those V-12 wheels will fit the 340 LaSalle model. You have to try!

1931 LaSalles had 18" wheels. I'm wondering if those hubs and bolt pattens are the same. My parts book shows different numbers but only means something is different not what.

  My Hollander Book says All 1932-1935 Cadillac-LaSalles used a 5 1/2 bolt circle.
The 1931 would have a 6 1/4 bolt circle. It can't work!
