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!

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

I like 16 inch bent spoke Kelsey's but that is just me. Here is what the wide fives look like from last years HCCA tour.

Altho I like the looks of Wide Fives on certain cars they always remind me of VW wheels... :p:p I prefer 19" spokes on my Model A.

Will have to look and see what size I bought. Will post pictures when there mounted.
 
Probably gonna get smacked but i kinda like the wide 5 on a model A....reminds me of the steel wheeled chevy and dodges...
 
Not exactly a stock model A, but wide fives look great with the right hub cap.

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!
