AR Wheels

Well-known member
I found a website, or at least some info with pictures on a website that detailed the differences between wheels on the Model A Ford.

Does anyone know of a website like this or possibly have a picture of an AR wheel so I can be reminded of what to look for? Wheels are next on my list of crap to buy.

Thanks
 
I sold some nice AR wheels on here a couple of years ago. The bolt pattern is 5 on 4and7eights, i'd a been real proud if they fit my wagon. The center hole and the disk are entierly different.
 
AR wheel? OH an e28 wheel. :p

Just kidding there is a move on to change the use of AR to the more correct Early 28 (e28). This is due to the fact that any part from any year that was updated and no longer used on the assembly line was given a suffix of AR.
 
Here arre some pix of an AR -oops early28- wheel compared to an A wheel.

The bolt pattern is the same, it is the hub flange depth that is different. An early 28 wheel hub flange will not contact the drum when put on a later drum and a later wheel will have about a 1/4" gap behind the lug studs if put on an early 28 drum and will not properly tighten. Both are not good conditions to have. Rod
