Hey there.
What parts are you chasing for the Crown as i have a complete car here that i will be stripping out in the near future.Let me know and i will see if i can help.
As for the wheels pretty much any 5 stud wheel will fit except for holden and bmw.

MOst Ford rims will fit on the crown you just have to get ones with a large hole for the bearing cap on the front axles. I have 17x7's on my 55 with a 38mm offset this should fit 72
Which body shape do you have a real late 50 series or a real early 60's series car. If you want 50's series bits I could be able to help

yeah my 240C (Datsun) is early ford too - 5x114.3.
i think most early Jap cars that were 5 stud ran this profile to be more compatible with the aussie market.

Unlikely.
Irrespective of the market these vehicles were sold in, they all had 114.3 x5 PCD. As well as being sold in Japan, they were sold in huge numbers in the Middle East and Europe, in lesser numbers in North America and a (relatively) tiny number here in Australia and NZ. The Australian market for these cars was miniscule. Why setup a world vehicle based on a market that would total maybe 1% of total sales? If they were made to directly copy the Ford wheel then the hub on which the wheel is supported would be the same. It is not - the Ford one is significantly bigger. Ideally, you should use a central collar when using a Ford wheel on a Toyota so that the weight is taken thru the hub, not the wheel studs.
