I've been through this ordeal with my 53, found lots of rims that bolted on but there were several issues that made this swap a bit complicated. I had a few modern 8 lug rims in the shop that would bolt on but only one had a large enough center that would allow my big 3/4 ton caps to fit and those were 16" off a Ford Econoline (these Ford rims have a really small Ford oval logo stamped on the rim hard to see). All makes seamed to hit the tie rod, then I learned that the 1 ton tie rod had modern ends and it's a bolt-on swap. A better fit but still needed to do a bit of grinding on this new end to make it clear the rim. Once the Fords were mounted and fitting fine I added aftermarket hub cap clips from Chevs of the 40s, holds the big caps just fine. Another problem when fitting the original caps is on the back where the large hub sticks out to far to let the caps fit, cured this with a spacer, moving the rim out just enough.
