    I am looking for some rollers for my Model A to replace original wire wheels to move around the garage. I have a 1930 Coupe and have been told that Jeep wheels will bolt right on. Can someone verify this for me. Also if someone can advise what year jeep wheels will fit. Many Thanks Guys ! tom
     
  2. I don't know about the jeep wheels, but if you just looking for something to roll it around, any ford wheel from 1928-1948 will bolt on, and any ford truck wheel from 1928-1996 will bolt on.
    Model A uses the 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern

    Ford 1/2 ton trucks/vans up till '96, Geo trackers, Jeeps up till '85, Dodge 1/2 ton trucks all use the 5.5" pattern.

    how long will you need them? i might have a set you can borrow.
     
  5. You might try borrowing some wheels from someone in the local Model A or Early V8 Ford Club (most early V8 wheels will fit). There has got to be someone out there that would like to extra wheels stored at someone elses place. Don't have any extras now but had them around for years.
