    What early cars would have 16” Kelsey Hayes bent spoke wheels with 5 by 5” lug pattern been available for use.

    The only 5 on 5 spoke wheel bolt pattern I am aware of are the Cadillac and Buick from 53 - 56 and those were 15 inch.

    I don't have a good close up right now, these are 16x4 40 spoke or bent spoke wheels. Are they the ones you ask about? and i believe they only came in 5 on 5.5 inch bolt pattern

    Mush said 5” and Deuce said 5.5”. Lots of people mix them up.

    There were a few "mid-range" cars that had 5x5 bolt pattern, but the wheels are pretty hard to find. Nash, Graham, and Rockne had a 5x5 16" wire.
