You have a 5 lug, 6 7/8 inch bolt pattern. Only the 46-68 Power wagons used this. The M-37 also used it but my Hollander doesn't show military interchange. The M-37 used bolt together combat wheels. I bought a set of wheels that had been made out of the center of a power wagon wheel with the rim of a bobcat wheel welded to them. Really good piece of work but it required 16.5 wheels. I put some 33/12.50X16.5 tires on them last week and they ride a whole lot better than the old dry rotted tires that came off.
Had I known how hard it would be to find reasonably priced tires for these wheels, I would have probably passed. Two things you can look for. Supposedly, there is a wheel by Budd called the "Firestone Deluxe". It may be called the duplex however. I was unable to find it but was looking for a 16 inch wheel and they are 16.5. Stockton wheel also will sell you a wheel for the PW at $155 each. This didn't include shipping.
