I'm wondering if you can shave off 3/64" off the hub flange? I considered those wheels for my '55, but wasn't sure of the fit. It looks close but it lists the outset at 144mm, that's 5.66" I measured my rims at about 3". My measurement might not be accurate, but that would move the front tires in 3" and I was concerned about clearance. My local tire shop suggested Radials with tubes. My wheels are Type AR, a three piece rim, so that's what we did. Smoother ride for sure.
