I had a set of Cragar’s, garden variety in stock, they were 15x6 with 3 or 3 1/2 backspace. They fit the bird, drums no problem. I didn’t care for them on that car. But I think most modern wheels ( modern 14-15”, not the 22” hoops) fit drums without a problem. Check the backspace both ends, and fender skirts if necessary. Ford changed the center hole size along the way, so the later wheels are going to index (?) on the lugs, not the center opening.

It’s almost certainly on the 57 ford site above.
