1952 had 16" wheels. 1953 had 15" wheels. Hopefully yours is a true 1953. Do the 15" fit directly on a 1953? I don't know, but up to somewhere about then, possibly up to the end of the 16" wheels, the wheel nuts were right and left hand threads on the opposite sides of the car. May have seemed like a good idea at the time but a properly tightened " normal" nut should do the job regardless.
