The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Newbie Q - are '51 16" wheels the same as 1954's?

looking to install more original wheels on my 1954 pickup. I saw an ad for a set of 1951 chevy pickup wheels.

I'm new and hate to assume so I wanted to ask the forum if 1951 wheels would work with my 1954? My 1954 is 6 lug.

I would say yes, if the 51's are 6 lug and you are running stock wheels (or at least factory lug pattern) on your 54.

I have a '54 3100 with the original 6-lug wheels. I also have a set of '51 wheels. They do bolt-up to the hub just fine. They are not exactly the same in style if you are concerned in fine details. Also the '54 repop hubcaps that I have will not snap tightly onto the the '51 wheels, they do on the original '54 wheels. Don

Thanks Guys. I appreciate your response.
