Ford 1600 wheel bolt pattern sizes

[cdsilks]

I have a 1978 Ford 1600 with rear turf tires and smaller front tires. I am wanting to switch to a rear lug tire and taller front tire as to the factory specs of 11-2-24 for rear and 5.00-15 for the front tires, however I cant seem to find anyone who knows what rim size and bolt pattern I need to buy the rims. Anybody know what rims or where I can purchase them? Thank you, Corey

If by chance you read this reply, what was your solution? My front wheel rim broke apart due to weakening from rust. I am looking for replacement rims for the 3-rib tire on the front of my Ford 1600.

Pretty slim chance that a "one post wonder" from 9 years ago will be of any assistance. However, the people below claimed to have what he needed (posted on another site,also 9 years old). They're near me and still in business AFAIK:

Yeah. I'm stretching my luck, but hey, worth a try. I did give Long Lane Tractor a call (no answer) and sent an email. Waiting to hear back. Also looking at FB marketplace and keeping an eye on tractor grave yards down here in West TN for old tractors. There are some out still out there in various conditions, so that is also a possibility. Thanks for the response.
