55-59 Wheels and Tires?

Can we start a thread and list what wheels and tires you used on your custom build? I would like to know who made them, sizes and back spacing.
Also anything you ran into going with that size and if you had to change them out or modify the truck in any way. Pics would be nice. I just think it would help to have this in one thread. I know it will help me out!

Re: 55-59 Wheels and Tires?

i have 6-lug wheels on my parts truck off of an 04 gmc truck. they fit on the back, but the hole in the center is about 1/8" too small in diameter to fit over the 55's hubs. i am going to have it bored out to fit

This thread would also help me, knowing what Axle you used in the back and what suspension you used in the front will also help
