I'm with you on that. Those look like they belong on a late 30's limousine.
But in the early 50's you could bet that more than one guy grabbed a set of those big 16 inch wide whites that were made for big luxury vehicles out of the 30's and stuck them on their trucks. I can remember my dad's cronies saying that they had tires of a "Cadillac" on their truck when I was a kid. They may have been used tires off a Cadillac but the concept impressed me.
