Vážení, včera jsem dostal níže uvedený e-dopis. Protože nemám možnost sám pomoci, obracím se na vás s žádostí o pomoc radou, či skutkem.
"... I hope you are doing well! The National Armor & Cavalry Museum at Fort Benning is looking for wheels and brake drums for an SdKfz 234. They think that Tatra made some trucks using the same wheels postwar. Is this something you might be able to help track down? Thanks! Neil"

Gentlemen, Thanks to my colleague from Tatraportal, I now assume that the brake drums and tyres of the Sd.Kfz.234 armoured car were identical to the front wheels of the Tatra 111 truck (6 out of 10 certainty).
P. S. Is it possible to get a scan of an okotated drawing of the Tatra 111 somewhere? I am interested in the front wheel assembly. I'd like to send the drawing to the Yanks to compare the possibilities of replacement.

I'm afraid that only 20 inch wheels and 10,5x20 tyres are possible.The axle is completely different.Tatra 111 has a central tube concept and quarter-lip springs and Sd.Kfz 232-4 has a different chassis design - the axles are formed by a lower and upper arm connected to the bogie and there is a semi-axle.All 4 axles are steerable.Maybe they used the same brake drum but I don't know for sure.On the Tatra we have another one without cross ribs and with 10 holes for the wheel mounting studs.Sd.Kfz.234 has only 5 holes in the drum. Anyway, Sd.Kfz 234 was produced by Büssing.Tatra developed for this machine only the engine used also in Tatra 6500/8000/111 and in Hetzer Starr.
