[Oletrucks] wheels

[Blaine Dumkee]

I am running stock wheels on my 59 GMC and they are 15 inch, 6 lug with
clips. In fact I am running early 50's GMC hubcaps on the wheels. 

Pictures here http://www.stovebolt.com/gallery/dumkee_blaine_1959_01.htm

The only concern I have is will they fit? Should as both are drum brakes.

Would stock TF wheels fit?  15x7 6 lug w/hub cap clips was stock
