Bolt pattern for '31 with Lincoln pattern wire wheels

Post by Chris Haynes »

I need the size of the bolt pattern for '31 AA with Lincoln bolt pattern wire wheels. I may have located some drums but need to be sure.
Thanks,
Chris

quote from Mr Neilson sept 2009

"The bolt pattern for the '31 steel spoke wheel is the same as the Lincoln wheel and the same as the '34 BB truck wheel from what I have seen."

Does that help you, were the Lincoln wheels produced by Lincoln, or the name of a specific wheel found on the 31 AA?
I was trying a search because I didn't know what they were when I came across the above qoute. I'd like to know cause I might be interested in some spoke wheels, but would like to see some pics and find out more info.

Hello Chris,

My information for the AA five bolt wheels is as follows:

AA Wheel Bolt Pattern (1931 Steel Spoke Wheel) = 8”

AA Wheel Bolt Pattern (other) = 7”

Yep, the '34 wheels are also 8"

Thanks. The guy measured the bolt pattern from the top stud to a line between the two studs at the bottom and got 8". I hope they are the right ones.

I had found some Lincoln wheels down in Hershey a few years back and I remember them being the same pattern as a '34. I don't remember the actual measurements, but I do remember that they were the same. I almost bought them to put on a '34, but wasn't sure if they would fit over the floating axles, and they were drop center rims.
