Need help with rim sizes.

I have a 1983 ford bronco, I am trying to get new tires for it my buddys got some that i am gonna get from him. Now here is the tricky part, i need a set of 16 inch rims, maybe just some cheap steel rims not to worried about rust as long as the bead seals, that will bolt onto my bronco. Any ideas would be helpful.

You could try 5 lug dodge wheels they use the same 5 on 5.5 lug pattern, you may have to drill out the center of the wheel to fit over the hubs. I used a set off an early 2000 dodge on my 62 ford 4x4.
