progress on my '56 Panel???

Not turning wrenches but I now have the wheels and tires that I want to use on my '56 Panel. Two of the wheels are the ones that were on the '56 truck that was totaled when I got hit two years ago. One wheel was broken and I just found a replacement this past Friday. I bought the tires today. Now I won't have to use temporary wheels and tires while I put the Panel together. The Panel will have Ford 4 1/2 bolt pattern because of the Volare IFS and Chrysler 8 3/4 rearend.

Do the aftermarket wheels have the slightly larger centre hole to fit the mopar hub?
I used some OEM Ford (Mark 7) wheels on a Dakota sub frame and had to grind a little out of the centre mounting hole.
I ask because I also have new (to me) wheels for my '56 panel project. Thanks.

Yes, they do. The two "new" wheels have the same size holes as the old ones. I had to buy the pair because the seller wouldn't break the pair. Ok, now I have a matching spare.
