    Well, I ended up running 15s on my car, they originally came with 14s, didn't they? I think my discs in the front take up more room. Plus you have to pay attention to the bolt pattern. I had 5 rims and when I took them home they ended up not fitting :( Caddy caps, depends on the size rim. I don't know if they made 14s but just pay attention to what size they are when you buy them. If you have 15s, buy 15 inch. Older Caddy sombreros don't fit other rims without modification, but I think '57 works fine on other rims.
