uhhh....yes

 

yes they will .... we did that with my hub caps off of my 63 cad onto my buddies ford tires

 

i just received the hubcaps and look great. but deffiently do not fit these rims. this sucks!!!

 

They are way deeper, yes?

 

haha ooooh yea

 

i got this response from the CLC forum. trying to fit my cherry '56 caps on '51 wheels. NO GO.

From the "part number" point of view, talkless of long-wheelbase cars and Eldoradoes :

- 1948 to 1955 wheels have the same part number (#145 9660)
- 1956 have a # of their own (#146 4276)
- 1957-60 have another one (#146 9869)
- 1961-64 still another one (#147 6584)

So if 56 hubcaps fit 1961 wheels, they should fit at least any (non-eldo) 1956-64 wheel.

(I got these numbers from my 1966 parts list)

 

Also, the Caddy wheels are 5 on 5 bolt, so you may have a problem mounting them as well.

 

hmmph
