...see if you can find a pair of spare 16-inch tires, and place just those ---no steel wheels-- in your front fender wells, then mount the sheet metal covers over them. Packards are already nose heavy, and sidemounts add considerable weight. So if you like the look of sidemounts, but are going to carry a spare tire and wheel in the trunk anyway, give the above a whirl.
