Hey Jes, your stock Buick rims have a 5" bolt circle. Early 50's Chevy is a 4-3/4" bolt circle. You measure wheel width inside the bead, not outside edge to outside edge. Hope that is helpful. Charlie
Jes, Your other problem is that the buick uses an index pin because the wheels go on with bolts. Wheels which are designed to go on wheel studs don't have the wheels drilled for the index pin or pins. Finally, why would you want a narrower wheel? Tires will go on a wider wheel and not be affected much unless you are trying to mount a very small tire size. The easiest thing to consider is to find a wheel company who would take your wheel centers and mount a rim of your choice on them..... Regards, Alan
