Both of those sizes may be incorrect. The '55 & '56 Birds used 1 3/4" wide rear shoes.
I just called my two favorite '55/'57 T-Bird parts suppliers and the 'parts folks' at both resto shops said the rear shoes on a '57 Bird are
two inches wide.
Also check for the proper 15/16th inch diameter rear wheel cylinders.
