I suspect more than one factory item was shared with cars of a "lesser" lineage. As to the Imperial wheels, I don't have any idea what mods are needed but wouldn't surprise me.

I wound up with a set of wires which were installed on a Packard by virtue of a mickymouse spacer plate. Used to be a well known company here that did wire wheel restoration so took them in for evaluation. Don't remember the details or the brand car they were for but company said for the proper Packard fit without spacer, only thing needed was a center hub change which they could do easily when they were apart for chroming. Never pursued it then because of cost and still have the wheels in the shed. Hate to think what it would cost today and the company is long gone.
