Greetings all. First question: what was the size of original steel wheels on 1955 Fairlanes? I'm guessing 15x5 with 5/4.5 bolt pattern.

Second question: what was original backspacing? Anybody have an OE spare they can measure, or, just as likely, know off the top of your head?

I've tried an aftermarket "smoothie" wheel, 15x6 with 3.625" backspacing, and it works fine at all 4 corners. Just wondering what stock wheels were.

Thanks!
