Fendered Model A Wheel & Tire Size

I did the search, but didn't have any luck.
The Model A Tudor I picked up has fake wires on it & I want to put on some steel wheels with caps. Want skinner tire up front & wider tire in back. I have a superbell axle in front & a 9" from a mustang in back. Any pictures of what people are running and what the sizes of the wheel & tires are?

 

Have a look here it might help ....................

Depends on fendered or hi boy.. Hi boy, anything goes.. Fendered depends how low.. 5.60x15 and 7.10x15 on my coupe...

 

Im running P235/75 r 15's out back,, and 165 80r 15 fronts

 

What wheel size & back space are you running?

If you dont mind me asking, what spring upfront and what drop?

 

If your asking about mine , it a 4" dropped supper bell and a reversed eye spring.

I have some experience of full fendered A´s.

Now 5x15/5,60-15 and 7x15/8,20-15 Wheel Vintiques wire wheels on my avatar roadster 31. Superbell 46" axle front Buick drums and Stock model A rearend Lincoln rear brakes.

29 Roadster I had was with 40 steels and 6.00-16's.

I had 29 tudor with just spring drop with 35 wires and 6.00-16 and 700-16.

Also I'd put 30 cab together with 48" axle and 58 9" rearend which had 5x15/165-15 and 7x15/235/75-15 Wheels were Wheel Vintique Solids.

Now I'm building A 30 coupe with Heidt's Superide and Maverick 8". Wheels are American Hopster 15x6 and 16x8's with 185/65-15 and 255/65-16.

Tudor has less inside space rear due to body is wider than rds/cpe.

 

I'm in the mock up stage with this roadster.In this pic it has a stretch dropped A axle and reversed eye spring. Rear tire is 700x16 on a 4 1/2 inch wheel.Front is 475x 16 on a 4 inch wheel.I'm not happy with it because the tire seems lost in the opening and the drop isn't enough.I will be swapping the axle out for a 5 inch drop 32 axle and will go to a 550x16 firestone.Should look alot better.Bob
