I have seen a number of International School busses with a six lug 22.5 tubeless rim. With the correct tire, OD should be about the same. I haven't had a change to try them on my '59 but if they fit I'll keep an eye out. Schools are always selling retired busses and surplus tires, some pretty cheap. Grigg's tire & wheel article in Tech Tips spells out the hazards of the types of wheels even if it doesn't cover 56--59 specifically.
