If yours is the earlier 20" spoke wheel pattern, or the six-hole "dish" wheel, the mounting is "different" compared to the 5 hole "Budd" pattern wheels which started late in 1929 (and upgraded the truck to 1-1/2 ton)

Details are at https://aafords.com/aa-chassis/aa-1000-wheels/

Not only the wheels were changed late 1929, but also the hubs and nuts.

I have seen later AA Trucks with "modern" wheels. (I.e. not ring/rim) but one imagines a modern wheel with 6-1/2 bolt centers might need to have its holes "enlarged" to take the right/left threaded AA later lug nuts.

This conversion is NOT addressed at Neil Wilson's page above.

Neil may see this and join this conversation.
