The bolt pattern size is 5 on 5.5". You might want to use later wheels though. I may use 1935 Ford wire wheels on my trailer. They use a 16" tire which you can get in a reasonable width. Model A tires are very skinny and tall.

This is the style of wheel I'm talking about.

Nick is correct, the Model A bolt pattern is 5 on 5.5" spacing.

Model A wheels came in two sizes. The '28s and '29s had 21" diameter rims with 4.5" width tires. The 30s and 31s used 19" rims with 4.75" width tires.

All Model A wheels, had 30 spokes.

Nice wheels. I was thinking of having these powdercoated but decided to leave them chrome. Mclean 50 spoke, 15 X 5, 5 on 5.5.

Those look like the reproduction Kelsey Hayes wheels from Wheel Vintiques. Are they?

Well, the problem with Wilbur is that he is dumber than his horse.
