Re: 16x5 6 Lug Wheel Rarity

Wow! What a great response from all. The reason I am pursuing that size is because the Ebay seller put on a "hodge podge" of different wheels for a rolling but "dead", rusty vehicle. The side bed-mounted spare is what I believe to be maybe original. No tire, but a rusty rim (color was matching truck patina) with the side bed rust-through at the wheel. I see it is evident from the old chart that the wheels are 16x4-1/2. I also have a note I don't remember where I got it, says "original wheels had 6 clips and later were 3-clip and 5" wide wheels. Yes, bead measurement is 5" and edge to edge is 6"
