If you're looking for something modern I just found out my 2005 Dodge Dakota has 5 on 5.5 pattern. I haven't tried one on my original 49 F-1 yet so I'm not sure about the width and center hole size. All Ford passenger cars had that pattern from 1928 to 1948. Mercury cars had the pattern from 1939 to 1950 something. Chrysler Imperials had them in the 50s too, so there are lot of older cars with that pattern...

Even though the bolt patterns are the same, sometimes the center diameter (over the spindle bearings) are not.

Also make sure you know the backspacing on any wheels you want to buy...
Backspacing basically is the distance from the center of the wheel on the inside (where lug nut holes are) to the back edge of the rim . This distance will determine how far in or out the rims sit on the hub, and how they fit inside the wheelwell.
Anybody selling wheels should be able to giveyou the bolt pattern and backspacing if you ask for it, if they cant or wont then I wouldnt take a chance (especially thru internet sales) as it cost too much to ship heavy things back and forth.
good luck with the rim hunt, Ed
