Can someone verify the wheel rim size for my 54?

Thanks Greg

Re: 54 Wheel Rim Size

The wheels installed on the assembly line were GM # 3714202, 15 X 5K with 9/16" offset. The replacement wheels were GM # 3707031, 15 X 5K with 5/8" offset.

Back in May 1992 at the Rhinebeck, NY, swap meet I bought a pair of NOS 15 X 5K Kelsey-Hayes wheels with GM 3687980 stickers on them. The were date coded "5 53" and "10 53". According to my 1957 Chevrolet parts catalog the 3687980 wheels (15 X 5K with 5/8" offset) were for 1949-1953 Pass. & Corvettes. The original 53 Corvette wheels were GM 3699828.
