John | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 | The pattern will,(6 on 5.5) but setbacks/backspacing and such have to be tried. Depends on what wheels are on the 59, stock or?

I have a lead on 16's on a rolling chassis, but didn't want to go through pulling wheels if it was a definite no go.

You can't tell if a 6 lug, non exact original wheel will fit until you try on front and back, spin them and turn steering full left and right. Unless someone has them on their truck already.

If so, your original wheels wont work. I wasn't happy with this fact, but nobody seems to care. LOL! Wheelsmith can fix these problems for a price. I am sure there are others. Its not something to be taken for granted. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 | Most rims work with the disc kits that I have installed. Sometimes you may have to take a little off the calliper casting. No big deal.
