1954 Chev 3100 Truck Rims

Hello,
I purchased a 1954 Chev 3100 Truck which is all original, but the previous owner placed different wheels / tires on it which are too wide for my liking.
I want to get back to the original rim / tire size with half moon hub caps.
I have performed many searches and this forum and the internet looking for the right rim size, and still not quite sure what will fit and look original.
The truck documentation shows the following specifications:
Tire size and ply rating
6.0-16-6
Rim size
16 x 4-1/2
Offset
9/16
Attachment
7/16-20 bolts, 5-1/2 bolt circle

I have looked at the following sites without a definite alternate
https://www.etrailer.com/Tires-and-W...ils=.questions
https://www.wheelvintiques.com/wheels/classic.html
https://www.wheelvintiques.com/wheel...re-finish.html

Below is a picture of the wide tires I took off.
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks
