Stock is 13" on the early 310's with drum brakes, and
14" for the later ones. There's two widths of 14" as well, as
I recall early was 4" and later was 4.5" but don't quote me.
Your 15" wheels came from somewhere else...

The one in "the middle" is the muffler, and the canister near the
end is a resonator, to smooth out the exhaust note.

I suspect the innards have blown out of the muffler and maybe
the resonator.
