55 Packard help & questions

Dear all,

Now I have my 55 on the road I have a few questions and issues that i need a bit of help with:

I still have to do some work on the suspension but have noticed that the rear of the car is sitting higher on one side. Is there any thing I could do to adjust the level of this so both sides sit evenly?

I also need to get a spare tire for the car, but this seems a bit tricky. From memory I think the space between the wheel nuts was 5.5" (same as 56 400) is there any other (later) makes of cars that would have used the same rims?

The final question at the moment, I am sure there will be more as time progresses, I noticed a week or so ago on ebay someone was advertising a parade boot does anyone in the U.S. still build these parade boots?

Many thanks
Mat
