how many different bolt patterns were there? was there a special one for the limos which may have had special brakes?

5x4.5” is common but Imperial’s and some limousine’s and station wagons have 5x5.5”.

Hope this helps.

The Motor Rim and Wheel brand wire wheels were available on all Chrysler Corp. lines starting in 1953 and continued optional through 1956. Dealers often had inventory in the parts dept. in 1957 and beyond so occassional customers retrofitted them through the parts department.
As stated correctly above all bolt patterns are 5 bolt on 4.5" circle except all Imperial and some Chrysler and DeSoto "estate wagons" which were 5 bolt on 5.5" circle. Any Chrysler car with the factory optional Ausco-Lambert disc brakes requires the 5 on 5.5". A-L brakes available from 1950-1956 on Chrysler and Imperial but most commonly found on long wheel base models.
