Need to find wheels
Well I have exhuasted the usual sources. I need to find some wheels. Wheels are 6 bolt-3in on center and the center hole is 3in diameter. I need to know what makes and models of cars/trucks used that bolt pattern.

3 inch on center....Not the way to measure. What is the diameter of the bolt circle?
Wheel Tech - Bolt Pattern
Do you know what vehicle?
6 on 5.5 looks common, but backspacing is critical as control arms and brake calipers may not clear without the proper spacing and wheel shape.

Chevy commonly used the 6 bolt on the older trucks and 4wheel drives, but as stated, you have to watch the offset. As of 88, Chevy went to a negative offset like front wheel drive cars. Some trailers also use the 6 bolts.

What's the make and model of the vehicle you are putting them on?
There are four different sizes that come to mind- Smallest is the one Dodge used on the Durango and Dakota, 6 lugs in a 4.5" circle, then Ford's new one at 6 on 135mm, next was most Japanese and GM half-ton 4x4s at 6 on 5.5", and then a large one used by several domestic manufacturers on 1ton+ trucks that was somewhere around 7".
