I must start by saying I don't know the answer to your question but be sure to check for the fact that Model A (and all the way to 1935) Ford brake drums are at two levels. If the Mopar wheels are designed for a flat drum you may have a very dangerous situation. The raised area on the Model A brake drum will keep them from seating and tightening the nuts will put too much stress on the lug nut holes leading to possible failure (the wheel falls off). You may have to make adapters to solve this problem.
