Looking for Rims for 59 Parisienne
Permalink  

 

I need 3 rims for my 59 Parisienne (lucky I have 2)  . I have new disc brakes and now need rims  size 15x7, with  5  lugs, the offset  is 4 1/2 inches . Any suggestions  where I can find some?

I've tried different venues such as Summit with no luck .

Thank you Charles

Hi Charles

The 59 Parisienne wheels should be 5 on 4 3/4" as far as I know. That should make them very easy to find. 

Just to confirm, are you measuring like this picture? Many people measure centre to centre on the studs (skipping one stud and going across) but the correct way is outer edge of one to centre of the other one.

When I put disc brakes on the front of my '58 Chev wagon, I had to move up to 15" rims to clear the calipers. I went with 15" GM rally wheels. I fitted trim rings and centres on the rims. Original wheel discs were 14" so they would not fit.

Probably the easiest to find if you want stock wheels would be From a 1977 to 1990 Impala or Caprice with 9 1/2 rear brakes. This would be the square Caprice, not the newer style.

 I had these on my 59, the 59 has 4.75 inch as do all Chevie/Cdn Pontiacs for many many years.
