The backspacing is correct. 3.5" backspacing which is what both 40s and 60s used throughout the duration. If they were originally off a drum brake 40 they wouldn't work on a disc brake Cruiser. The rivets hit the calipers. The later model ones did not use rivets. A 10.50 wide section width tire is pretty big for a 5.5" wide rim. Sounds like you got lucky on getting them on. Wear will definitely be an issue though as the tire will tend to crown. 60 series wheels and the late model 40 wagon type wheels were 15x6s. Still a pretty narrow rim for a wider tire.
