These may not be much help, but a number of older Buick and Cadillac wheels fit. The bolt circle is 5 inches in diameter.

You didn't say which Clipper you have but as I recall the models with the 356 engine also have a larger bolt pattern. For someone to recommend a good cross you might want to mention the model.
One thing making Packard wheels harder to cross is they have a larger center hole compared to most other cars -- somewhere around 3 1/2 inches. Another minor consideration is you may not find a wheel from another mfg that has the small holes for the positioning pin used on the Packard drums. To mount a wheel without the holes you would need to remove the pin. If it is for show only and never planned to leave the trunk that would be a non issue but just something to be aware of.
