Technical Wheel bolt pattern ‘39 Ford Deluxe

I’m confused! My grandfather’s ‘39 came to me without a spare tire rim. Measuring the hole spacing appears to be 9.5” Would this be correct?

Thanks in advance!

 

Any original wheel from 1936 to 1939 Ford will work. And no other cars had the same bolt pattern.

 

39 Fords used 16 inch wheels with a very wide bolt pattern. They are known as "wide fives".
This changed in 1940.

I remember them being 5 on 10 1/4 pattern. Post a "wanted" add here and on https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/ and maybe something will show up. Where are you located? Also visit the Early Ford V8 site, https://www.earlyfordv8.org/index.cfm, they have a restoration guideline if you are going that direction.
