Wide Fives on a Model A???
Hey guys, I tried searching but couldnt find anything.. I found a set of front drums, the complete rear end, and two wheels and would like to swap my '30 Sport Coupe. Anyone have tips/tricks on doing that?
Thanks! |

Re: Wide Fives on a Model A???
Well, that certainly would be different! Don't think I've ever seen wide 5's on an A. Got any pictures?

Re: Wide Fives on a Model A???
I always thought that the VW wheels reminded me of a '36 Ford

Not exactly a stock model A, but wide fives look great with the right hub cap.

Re: Wide Fives on a Model A???
Wide 5s came out in '36 & ran until '38. Around here, in the '50s, they were in DEMAND for Jalopy & Hardtop Circle Track Cars! They seemed to be LESS prone to being BENT on IMPACT.
Google for videos of Jalopy & Hardtop Races, they're a BLAST! Bill Stupidracer

Re: Wide Fives on a Model A???
Won't work unless you go to hydraulic brakes because Model A drums are 11" in diameter and your wide-5's are 12".
