Just another evening.

Well not quite. Here are a few pictures of a run organeised by our Branch last night.
I see you found one of the other sources for wheels. The six cylinder models of those Studebakers had 4 bolt wheels with a 4 inch PCD. (8 cylinders cars had 5 bolt wheels - odd decision) The wheels bolt right on, well, on the rear anyway, if you grind a bit off the center hole. Of course don't expect full threading of the lug nuts with standard studs. The center hole must be enlarged to fit the front hubs.
In the day dad bought a 51 Stude that one of his coworkers traded in for a Morris. The Morris arrived in our family when the Stude was retired. With the coming of winter he noticed that the PCD was the same and my uncle had some 15 inch snow tires from his Renault Dauphine. It was a natural to put it all together.
Bet you thought you couldn't get a +1 wheel for a Moggie.
