28 wheels
What size model A rims fit on a 28 chassis? I have 18s all around now and would like larger on the rear and smaller on the front for my build

Re: 28 wheels
Lots of people run 16 inch rims and put larger tires on the rear and smaller tires on the front. If you do that check the alignment in the front.

Re: 28 wheels
It's not too practical to carry two spares. Folks that do big and little tires generally just use the narrow low aspect ratio tires on the front and fat high aspect ratio tires on the rear. A person has to use wheels that will work for the hubs but most 5.5 by 5 bolt pattern Ford wheels will fit. If you want different size wires then use 1935 16" wheels on the front and keep the 18" on the back but you'll have to suffer for a correct spare.

Guess it's different strokes for different folks, but I prefer to leave it alone the way Henry made it. Not too many things in today's world that was made 90+ years ago and still working
