    I just bought a set of 56 caddy hubcaps and they wont fit my wheels. The dish is too deep. What wheels do I need to run to use these hubcaps? Thanks for any advice. I am running a 5x4 3/4 bolt pattern. (s-10 front, camaro rear)

    early 60's caddy wheels should do the work...I believe possibly any early 60's GM wheel.

    anyone clarify that?

    I ran into the same issue and I plan on getting something around a 62 caddy wheel.
     
  3. ok so heres the lowdown. had to find out myself. 56 caps are cheap and plentifull and just as custom as a 57, i happen to like them just as well, gotta go deep. you can get them cheap and are always easy to find if some *** cobs em. 57 caps are out fricken priced and not very plentifull. i went to summit racing today and about pissed them off pulling rims out and checking fitment of the 56 cap. heres the deal, Aero racing wheels for roundy round cars, 15 x 7 with 3.50" backspacing and at 44.95 a copy. part # AEO-50-174535. they come in about any bolt pattern and are rated higher than oem rims. hope this helps, sure helped me????????????? like a sore peter,you just cant beat it!!!!!!!!!!!!
