Hi everyone, new '51 GMC truck owner here. I picked up a very solid 1/2 ton that's completely stock and has lots of potential. Shouldn't take much to get it on the road and as of now I plan on keeping it stock looking. I need to get wheels and hub caps and a friend has both 15" and 16", along with the caps. Is there any particular reason to go with one or the other? Are tires easier to get in certain sizes? It has 15" wheels on it now but they don't have the clips for the hubcaps. It looks okay that size but wanted to ask the group for opinions...

I don't know what is supposed to be on them but I think the 16" wheels fill the wheel wells up better.

It would have come with 16 inch wheels.
