Question

thank u and have a blessed day!

Answer
The bolt pattern is the same for mid to late 50s to early 60s large GM cars (Buick, Olds, Cadillac) - but those will be for 15 inch tires and for wider tires than your car needs.  Your car came with 16X5 or 16X5-1/2 inch rims, and those are going to be hard to find with the 5 on 5" bolt pattern, and the locating lug hole that Packard requires.  Some Ford pickups used that bolt pattern also, but those wheels don't have the locating lug hole - you'd have to drill a clearance hole for the single peg on your brake drums.

If you want the correct original wheels for your car, you should check with the folks who deal in Packard parts.  Talk to Stuart Blond at Kanter Brothers, or Max Merritt, or Joel Ray, or Sandy Chirco.  If you are a member of the Packard club, you must have their contact information, but if not, post a follow up question to me and I'll dig it out for you (or you can just Google those names).

If none of them can help you, contact me again and I'll see what I can dig up for you.
