    I'm selling my wheels and tires and for the time being I just need some sort of disc to attach to the hubs to push my car in and out of my garage,
    I know some rollers will work but space is **crucial** and I've seen guys use ply wood to do this.

    So... is there some sort of metal disc like a large soap box racer wheel with a hard rubber tire that is sold that I can drill out the hub and lug holes to work on ford fitment? Just curious if there is such a thing...I need em!

    thanks!

    I've used 3/4" plywood before, works great.

    i thought of constructing something - but by the time i am done w/ materials its too expensive

    by the time you purchase casters (16 of 'em) things get $$$$

    not to mention home depot casters are typically a little on the light side for support REAL loads

    Eastwood had a set for 179 i think

    there better ones too

  4. Why not use the late model space saver spares , gotta be cheap and available?
