You will notice that his wheel chart does not show a wheel for the 51A vehicle (Retractable Skyliner). Those wheels were the same as the 9 passenger S/W. They were different from the other passenger car wheels as the center of the wheel is solid and not slotted. This is the same style as the Thunderbird, but the Thunderbird had a different width. To really answer your questsion, you would need to find a Chassis Parts book from 1954.
You are describing the ever popular -
