I have a 1977 Ford F150 That has 16 inch 5 hole rims. I need to find 2 more. When I asked around I was told Ford never made a 16 inch 5 hole rim. Is this correct? They don't look like aftermarket rims. Thanks Brian

Not sure, but I've never seen a 16" 5 lug wheel on them. Might be some kind of old Jeep wheel?

Actually, not sure when they started the 5 lug pattern, might be really old Ford wheels though.

16" wheels were an option with the 5x5.5 lug pattern. Highly sought after for the older trucks, where people want to wear hubcaps on their trucks. Be prepared to break open the piggy bank.

Didn't the last few years of the 5 lug Econoline have a 16" wheel?

Not sure about hubcap fitment if that's an issue.

A picture of the wheels in question would help out a bunch.
Once we see them, we can likely identify what they came off of.

And if you can take one off without too much hassle, look for (and take pics of!) any stampings in the backside for others to see.
Even the Early Broncos had a 16" wheel option. At least on some years.

in 1974 my dad ordered a new F150 with the 360 engine , heavy duty suspension , 16 inch rims and tires 5 on 5-1/2 bolt circle , 3 speed on the column,,,, 360 gave up the ghost wrist pin came loose and tore a hole in the block, replaced it with a 6 cylinder engine out of his 1971 F100 which my brother had wrecked . about 6 months after we had replaced the engine Ford sent out a recall for the 360 engines due to wrist pin locks not being installed properly. i still have the 5 16 inch rims which i plan on having widened to 16 x7 to use on one of my 1977 F150 4x4's.
