Gator -
The the 5x5" bolt pattern may have been used across 51-55 Packard, but there are different rim widths.
Parts book shows the 5.50" wide, P/N 426835 was used on
50 Standard, Deluxe, and Super Eight
51 200
52 200
53 Clipper
Hope this helps.
It does help BH and thanks. I had checked to see what the original Rim width was on my '53 and it was indeed the "K" rim or 5.50". I would probably need at least a 6" wide rim in order to install and run these P23575R15 tires and it appears that the rims they're currently mounted on are 7" and if it's true that you can go up or down an inch then the 6" may work if I can find some with the 5" bolt pattern. I'll have to talk to someone who can confirm the
possibility. Quote:

Also 54 Super Clipper, but not Special or Deluxe Clippers.
And thanks for that additional bit of info Kev. Through your posts, I found out that there is a possibility of 3 different bolt paterns so a guy really has to shop smart to get the right wheels.
You ever wish that your car had come with just 1 thing that you didn't have to put blood hounds on?...well in my case its 4 things making it 4 times harder! Actually 8 if you include a matching set of wheel covers.
