Not as far as I know, but there is a set for the Toko (?) Gaz-AA or AAA. With a bit of work it might work.

Part P35007 set should be OK. IIRC Zvezda's kit is a reboxing of Toko's original GAZ AAA...:

Armo has released a set of resin wheels (35509) but I don't know if it's still available...

The PART set is worth getting. There is a fret from Eduard for the ZiS-5 that has nice parts to replace all the hardware on the cargo bed so you can build a new one up from HO scale wood. There were several production versions of this truck, and the ones later in the war had a simplified cab and cargo bed.

Jadar ( Poland) have PART and probably a good line on Eduard,, as well as handling the ARMO wheels. Other wheels are available from Hussar (Air Connection, Canada) and Tank Workshop (USA). I like the Hussar wheels best. The Zvezda kit is actually very nice, with a few weak points, but the basis is there for a phenomenal model.

There are several very good walkarounds on the DISH Models site and elsewhere, and several good (Russian) books on the GAZ trucks. Zvezda's GAZ-AA is just as nice, although their GAZ-MM would benefit from new fenders. Lots of fun.

Cheers

If you mean reference stuff, this should get you started :

http://www.armchairgeneral.com/rkkaww2/galleries/trucks/GAZ_AAA.htm
But GAZ-AA pics should be helpful as well :

From Airconnection page :
"Complete set of wheels with two optional spare wheels for one
vehicle
." = 10 + 2 spares....
