Hello All, I have searched around and can't find the stock wheel offset for a 56 windsor, can anyone give me the stock wheel info. Thanks
The stock wheel offset information was probably never published. Because my 56 Dodge D500 has 12 x 2.5" Windsor brakes, I am pretty sure that I have 56 Windsor 5.5 x 15 wheels on a 5 x 4.5" bolt circle.
I have my 56 Dodge D500 wheels stored under the back house deck. So I can pull one out and measure it later today.
These ones (showing their original white paint colouring):
They are 5.5" across the bead which makes sense for a 56 D63 Dodge with 12" (Windsor) brakes according to the parts manual. This further implies that the original tires would have been 7.60 x 15. I think when I got the car the tires were H78 or G78 with the spare being an L78. L78 translates to 235/75/15 which is what I am running now.

If you haven't already purchased your disc brake "kit", I suggest that you contact Roger at AAJ Brakes in the Portland area. I think that he has an 11" rotor "kit" that uses the stock wheel.
Here are the dimensions of the 56 D500/Windsor wheel that I just measured:
Outer lip to outer lip = 6.5"
Bead to Bead = 5.5"
Mounting surface to outer lip - front side = 2.75"
Mounting surface to outer lip - back side = 3.75"
See below:
