Hot Rods wheel size for 53 chevy?

looking for some plain steelies for my 53 2dr sedan, should I be looking for 15" or 16"s?

also, haven't gotten a chance to actually measure the lug pattern on the car (haven't picked it up from PO yet and it's 5 towns away)... but it should be 5x4-3/4", correct?

 

15X6, 5 on 4 3/4 for stock size. Todd

 

awesome thx

I was searching around quite a bit & couldn't find any specs

are 15"s what most guys go with?

 

I have 15" wheels with 3" White Walls....Running Bias Ply tires from COKER.

 

Hey any of you guys know if you can put 710 15 bias plys on 15x7 wheels on 53 210?

 

I had 4" b/s 15x7's on mine with 235-60 and 245-60. You should be able to run 15x8's on the rear.

 

the last year for 16's on Chevrolet passenger cars was 1948. last year for 6 lug too.

 

They were 15X5.

 

that's what I was thinkin, but didn't want to say anything.

 

Stock wheels are 15 x 5. Radials to replace the stock bias tires are 205 75 15

5 x 4-3/4 is the correct bolt pattern

 

You can't if you are running skirts... I have radials on the back of my '52 with the stock width wheels and the tires rub the skirts. Can't wait until I can afford a couple of new Cokers for the rear!

I run 15x5's on the front and some 15x7 wagon wheels on the rear. Tires are 205/75/15 front and 225 or 235/75/15's out back. My Hurst cheaters even fit with the square thread on a large 235 casing.
