[Chrysler300] FW: 15" wheels

["Doug Warrener" <dwarrener@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Group, Based on the attached information that I just received from
Tony Bevacqua,the H and G wheels may not be the same. The G wheel is a
15x6L with a 8.00x15 tire and my H wheel is a 15x6K with a 7.60x15 tire.
Does anyone know how a "L" wheel differs from a "K" wheel?   Doug

Doug,

In the 300G Service Bulletin, it shows the tire size of 8.00 X 15 as
standard equipment.  Then, it says; "For Service Procedures, refer to
Group 22 in the 1961 Chrysler and Imperial Service Manual Supplement."
So, I go to the 1961 Supplement, group 22, and see only the Imperial
(RY-1) with 15" specs.  Wheel size of 15 x 6L, stud size of  9/16" -18,
tire size of 8.20 x 15 (G is 8.00 x 15), 5 wheel nuts.  That's all I can
get from my manuals.  I hope this helps you.

Tony

Tony, could you look up the G wheel designation in your 1961 service and
repair manual to see if it is the same as for my H (15x6 K). I took the
spare from my H to Stockton Wheel yesterday and Frank thought that it
was a 15x5.5 wheel. I will pull a wheel tonight and check to make sure
that my spare tire is not mounted on a non H wheel and then get back in
touch with Frank. Frank also wanted to know if our drums have the stud
on them that would require a special hole in the new wheel centers.
