I can't find the data as I'm looking for a spare tire but the only info that comes up, someone posted that the wagons had the same bolt pattern as the Chrysler luxury sedans or 5X5-1/2. The Windsor sedans were 5X4.5 so wouldn't that be the same for the wagon?
(I don't have the car here to measure)
Thanks

When I researched 1956 Dodge D500 brakes and wheels, I bumped into information about "estate" wagons. The "estate" wagons were deemed heavy duty (I guess because of their potential to haul lots of heavy materials, like gold and silver bullion, on your "estate", wherever, whatever that was - probably somewhere in Connecticut, Rhode Island or upstate New York ).

Anyway, the estate wagons (on Chrysler and Desoto by the way - Dodge and Plymouth just had Suburban wagons, etc), got some of the running gear bits from the Imperials. The most important bits in your case would be the brakes, brake drums and wheels. The wheels for these were the 5 x 5.5" bolt pattern, not the smaller 5 x 4.5" that the other Mopars got.

You don't mention the year of your car so if it isn't 1955-56, I am not 100% sure of the above. But if it is 55 or 56 then I am quite sure. Still, you need to confirm this yourself by measuring an actual wheel.

C-70 = limo, those used the vented wheels. This would suggest that 1633073 is the vented wheel.
C-73 = Imperial, those used solid wheels or wire wheels. This would suggest that 1633066 is the solid wheel.
It's strange that the parts catalog would list the same part number for wheels between Chrysler and Imperial as the Imperial has the larger bolt pattern and wheels don't interchange.


Agree with the 1633 066 = solid, C73 Imperial and 1633 073 = Vented, C70 Crown Imperial (8 passenger). Have another look at the 1633 066 cross-overs to Chrysler (and Desoto).
It's only for the S23, C71 and C72 Estate Wagons, which were apparently deemed heavy duty, and got the 5.5" bolt circle wheels, just like the C73 Imperials.

I don't know what year wagon you're asking about but I have a 1960 Chrysler New Yorker Town & Country 9 passenger wagon and it has the 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern. It uses 14 x 6.5" wheels that are the same as used on the 300F. The other New Yorkers used 14 x 6" inch wheels. Windsors used smaller ones.

I don't think an of the 1957 and up wagons used the Imperial bolt pattern on them.

Sorry - the edit button disappeared. - This is for a 1956.. Thanks for the info!! I thought so.. I wanted to get a spare ready for when I pick it up before my dad can get out there to measure it.. I'm 1400 miles away at the moment. I appreciate the help - you wouldn't believe all I've learned just searching the forums. Still need to find some brake shoe cores to have lined locally and some other items.. Thankfully these wheels are similar to so many.
