Hi:
I am trying to find out what the original wheel size would be for a 57 
suburban 2wd.  I have 3 of these 16" rims which I thought were 
stock but when I talked to a local guy about finding a 4th - he told 
me they should be 15" for 57.  My 3 have 6 hubcap clips and the 
guy also told me they should only have 3.
Can someone send me a photo of a bone stock original 57 rim so i 
can compare with mine?
Also, I am wondering if the suburbans might have maybe come 
with larger rims for the heavier weight???  
Thanks, 
Eric
