Have to agree that it is reasonable that the 300 had sturdier wheels but master parts manual for 55-58 says they were the same darn it. Believe 55 wheels had the alignment holes and 56 may not have though?? Most 55’s I have encountered have the alignment pin on some of the brakes but not all as I remember. Using up old stock?

If all you want is to bolt up to your hubs, then OK. The 300 rim was a sturdier wheel, heavier gauge steel than the standard Saratoga and Windsor. They may also be slightly wider. The New Yorker had the same 5 x 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern, and may also be of a heavier gauge steel. The early Imperial's had the 5 x 5 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Good luck. Best Regards, Stephen A.

I believe the rims were the same. Specs are 15" diameter with 4 1/2" bolt pattern diameter. Prior to '55 I believe that Saratogas and Windsors also had a 4 1/2" bolt pattern, which would work. NY's and Imp's I believe were 5 1/2" diameter, ruling them out. Many thanks. Chuck, C-300 & a B --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
