Marco Vs. Grove Wheels

Piper J3

Well Known Member
By any chance are 5" Matco and Grove wheels interchangeable? I have Marco on my RV-12 and found some new 5" Grove wheels I'd like to buy as spare set...
 
Probably not... Assuming they're 1.25" diameter, they'll slip on the axle fine but the brake flange position may be off. I encountered this problem when replacing my stock Cleveland wheels with Matco 6" wheels. I had to build a test flange to get the measurements just right, and then get a machine shop to make the real items on a lathe.
The only way to know for sure it to try them on and see how they fit.
