1935 Wire Wheels
Just remember, there's no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid answer's! Anyway.... I assume 35 V8 16'' wire wheels bolt onto Model A's with no modifications? Thanks in advance

Re: 1935 Wire Wheels
That is correct, direct bolt up.
Last year, I tried 16" radials on a 5700 mile road trip. I left my 21" wheels in the sidemounts as spares. The 21" wheels with standard A Firestones were the same diameter as the 16" wheels with the R700 Coker radials I mounted at the rear. The front radial shown was a smaller R600. The radials made a big difference in the ride. I change the wheels back to the 21" for local Club events but when we are on the road for a long distance the radials are on. Good Day!

Re: 1935 Wire Wheels
Yes, if the Model A still has the mechanical brakes, if the Model A has later Ford hydraulic brakes an adapter is required. Remember you can put a 600-16 tire in the well if you let some of the air out and carry a pump.

Re: 1935 Wire Wheels
I've never had a problem with later wheels used on my model A's . I now mostly run original wheels . I feel that 1935 16 inch wheels ruin the look of an original model A !!!
