Wheel size ?
 

I got a great deal on a set of A model axles. Front completely redone, powder coated , new rubber and tubes. Rear, wheels redone, axle complete. I got these to do a swap out while I rebuild my original. Was not til I got them home before I noticed these are 17 inch rims and tires. When did they use 17's ? All other measurements match to do swap out.

1933-34

But for the distance and the cost of freight, I'd jump on those wheels. Do you have a means of getting them to LA? Maybe we can do a deal. PM me if you're interested.

Ford V-8 (okay, some 4-cylinder Model B) Model 40 of 1933-'34.

I got the set for the Mere price of $500. Like I said, could not pass this up. I will run these for awhile, then think about selling them at a much later date.

I just purchased a Model A rolling chassis and had 17" wheels in the back. They fit the Model A axle without any modifications.

A Model A with just enough "attitude"!

My 30 A coupe has 17" on it. I like them. They were on the car when I bought it way back in the late 1950's

Any Ford wire wheel through '35 will bolt directly onto a Model A without adapters. You need adapters if you try to use the wire wheels on hydraulic brake drums without adapters or worse yet when you try to run the later solid rims ('40 and up) on the stock Model A brake drums.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Currently I've got the stock 19's on it with the spare rim on the back. I go back and forth when I get bored of one look I change it up. The one thing about 17's though is tires are really expensive. The trim rings are also big money. I think the trim rings alone are over $100 each!!

Re: Wheel size ?
 

that does look pretty tough. I may have to keep these wheels now. what size rubber you have on them rims, and are they still tubed ??

Re: Wheel size ?
 

After much deliberation, I opted to go with the original 19" wheels with 5.50R19 tires all around.

if you go to the early v8 site on the barn, fella in Cali is selling a full set of 17's with new tires very reasonably.
give him a shout!
