Chevy Wheels

[azopelnut]

The local Penny Shopper lists 4 Coker wide whitewall radial tires that are 215x50x15 mounted on 1956 Chevy Rims for $250
1) Will these rims fit my 56 Powerhawk?
2) will these tires fit my wheel wells?
They state "almost new"

WOOPS I MEANT TO SAY 215 75 15

[DEEPNHOCK]

No on the rims.
Yes on the tires, if you put them on the right rims.
Hope the info helps.

Your Hawk takes a 4&1/2 bolt pattern,same as most Ford and Chrysler.
Chevys are 4&3/4. What is Cokers price-new? 'almost new'-quite a variable description!

Double oops
The seller snow says they are definately
205 75 15
Will these fit??

That is the size everyone recommends for a 'stock' appearance.[205/75/15] You could go larger,especially on the rear. I had 205/75s on my 60 Lark,no problems.

Actually...the "rims" will fit...but the center as welded to those rims will not fit!

As has been noted, most GM uses a 4-3/4", while Stude used the 4-1/2" pattern...simillar to most Ford and Chrysler wheels.
