This isn't necessarily a "wanted" ad, but I'm happy to take any leads. I have a pair of ag-implement axles that I want to put to work, but they take 5x5.25 rims (as in 5 lugs, 5 1/4" from center of hole to center of hole opposite), and I'm having a hard time finding ANYTHING like that. Does anyone know what other wheel'd vehicles would use this rim so I can expand my search? I'm going to try a couple of local salvage yards, but I figure the more info I can bring the better. I'm hoping to find some plane-jane steel rims. I'm flexible on the OD dimensions, but 6x16's would match some other junk of mine.
You may need to measure them again. On a five lug you measure from the back of one hole to the center of the opposing hole. I suspect they will be 5x5.5 https://www.ebay.com/itm/1971666746...Fr-yFbCSJVXZkywViOqQjwTyOUwtlrSPWOjxdJO2RJQX8
Yes, you are both talking about the same measurement , just different method of measuring. Anyhow probably a easy wheel to find should be from the little Suzuki 4x4 Vitara or Samurai ( what name are they in U.S. ) Those have 15 inch and 16 inch. Now if you find a little Lada Niva 4x4 your good as well. Don't forget to take your backspace measurement with you as well. Or any old Ford between 1940 and 1948 and some later pickups.
Yep, you guys are right! I need to pay better attention to the charts, but it is 5 1/2" from bolt center to the EDGE of the opposite hole. Those rims are everyware. Thanks guys!
