John, exact fits and configurations for Hudson 48-54 rims are: Nash and Kaiser.

Thank you all for the information John

Lee ODell

Lance Do you have information on the width of Nash and Kaiser wheels? I would like to find wider wheels? Thanks you Lee O'Dell

Lance

Lee, Offhand I don't have that info  but I would say they are all the standard (non convert) size of rim. Kaiser and Nash had no convertibles in their lineups so the rims would match the Hudson dimension. If you want wider but same pattern rims go to Mopar. The Chrysler Imperials used a wider rim. Ditto on Dodge trucks.

Wheel Vintiques did once offer the 15X7 5 on 4-1/2" OEM clip type rims that a Hudson Hubcap could be fitted to, but as of this year they don't show them on their website, but I imagine they might be able to make a set on request, but probably at over $140 a wheel.

You can try to talk Wheel Vintiques about these wheels (I had & have an interest), however I was not able to order a set of these from them...  Contacted them both directly, and thru resellers - 'No soap'. 

They appear to have fully 'dropped' this wheel from their offerings - Very disappointed...

If you are contemplating, or have disc brakes on the front. Don't buy a riveted rims. They will interfere with the calipers..

I found this wheel in the trunk of a 1970's Grand Fury at an area U-Pull parts yard. Not sure of application but it is a 15x6 and fits fine on my Hudson.  Tried to find application using the MOPAR part # but no luck.

The Hudson small and large caps fit fine.

I used mid 70,s new Yorker wheels on a Hudson and they worked fine. Don,t remember the width tho.  Dodge truck changed from 5x41/2 to 5x5/12 bolt pattern in 1985., but they are heavy.
