I want to order some aftermarket wheels for my '56 Fairlane club coupe. Can someone tell me what info I need to know to order them. Bolt pattern etc., my spindles and hubs are stock '56. Thanks,Dave

4.5 in. bolt circle, for wheel studs, and make sure you dont get too wide or things will rub the tires, A- frames , wheel wells etc.

Dave;

If you have a spare you can measure the backset. That will be the distance from where the wheel mounts on the brake drum to the outside of the rim.  You will need to try to find wheels with similar dimentions because there isn't much wiggle room for wider wheels and tires. You will hit the fender well on one side and the leaf spring U Bolt on the other.

Thanks Gary and Ron. That's what I needed to know. I want to order chrome smoothie wheels for my '56. I'll send pictures when I get them on Dave
