14 inch rims for my 1953

[Cliff54]

Hey, what cha got looks good. What are you looking for by changing those rims?

PS I too have radiator problems with my 54.. bought a parts radiator from ebay and sent my original to a local radiator shop. I am trying to keep the Original Honey Comb Radiator. ... but I will let you know how it comes out.  Let me know what you did with your Radiator.

You know its funny I said that and then i went to a cruise night last night and there was a 52 cranbrook, 53 cranbrook, 54 convertable and a 37 ply.

All are from bergen county.

Ill keep in mind about the tire being too far back.

Be careful about the offset when using different wheels.  Some wheels will have the same bolt pattern, but they will put the tire too far "in' towards the middle of the car and then it can rub the suspension components.  When I got my '51 business coupe, it had a modern wheel on the left front, and the upper control arm cut a groove into the tire.

PS:  You wrote in another thread that you don't see any older Plymouths in Bergen County.  I live in Freehold (Monmouth County) and it's the same way down here.

Does anyone know if there is a rim/hub I can use on my 53 Ply instead of the stock 15 inchers. I was thinking maybe a set of 65 Ramblers in the rear and 59 fford in the front.

Who has the same bolt pattern?
