16.5 to 16 wheels

I have 16.5 wheels on a late 60's pickup box trailer. What year 8 lug wheels will fit? Also what years did they offer the tool compartment on this boxes?
Thanks for any info.

I believe any of the newer style 8 lug Ford wheels will work, up to 1999 when they went metric
Not sure about the tool boxes
The Alcoa aluminum wheels are the best ones IMO but the center caps suck, they warp with wheel heat, rattle horribly and fall off

You are correct. I found a wheel and tire from a 2003 E250 that worked. Thanks

I think 97 was the last full year of the 6.5 inch pattern on the trucks and 2013 for the vans. Usually the truck wheels were 6 inch wide and the vans are 7 inch. At least that is what I noticed while searching out some matching wheels in the JYs.
