5x61/2 rims

Does anyone know what years had this bolt pattern and what size tires fit the rim? I need to replace 4 split rims, 17 " tires with something later but sorta original. 16" tires would work for me.

I don't fully understand the question. What are 5x61/2 rims? My F-3 came originally with 8 lug 17 inch rims but they had been replaced with 8 lug 16 inch rims. Is that what you are referring to?

Sorry, 5 lugs, 61/2 inches on center across the rim. (This determines the bolt pattern circle and number of lugs).

Okay, I think I'm with you now. The proper way to measure the bolt pattern with an UNEVEN number of lugs is to measure from the center of one stud, skip one, to the center of the next stud. Your bolt pattern is probably 5 on 5.5. Measuring on center across the rim is the proper way to measure a bolt pattern for an EVEN number of lugs...

Thanks, that is how I measured. The center hole is 41/2 inches. These wheels are on a '41 grain truck I have for "parts". I need to be able to move it from time to time.
