    I measured up the wood wheels on the willys to see what i'd be scrounging the swap meets for - 20 whole inches! Wire wheels were an option, so that's what I'd like to use. I've seen wires (classic style) up to 16 inches in diameter, anybody make 20 inch ones? Tire suggestions appreciated as well, I'd like to go a little wider than stock but not by too much, and I'd like to go with white walls.

    pm Wheelkid or just go to their website. www.rallyamerica.com

    The have 20x5 1/2" wires.

    Ford Model A wheels were available as 19 or 21 inch from Ford depending on year. But they are very narrow.

    Geez, I just saw the price. What bolt pattern are the ford wheels? I really don't know what bolt pattern I will be using, which is why I was looking for new ones, but maybe I'll find a way to make the model As work. Is there any concern with using wheels that old? Weight rating?

    Modal A wheels are 5x5 1/2" bolt pattern. Coker repops them. Still expensive though. Wire wheels are not cheap.
