5 on 6 7/8, 4 15/16 center hole, 1.280 dia bolt holes, OD of chamfer 1 7/16, angle unknown, measure a lug nut.. I suggest you verify with your own measurments, as well as finding some back up reference, though the bolt circle is probably the most critical dimension, and it IS posted. I would also go outside and look at the clearance between stock rim and brake drum flange. Use the stock clearance as a minimum. Too tight of a fit will contribute to overheating of brakes, a wider stance (smaller offset) will probably be preferable to lack of cooling air circulation. As well as help with fender/frame/drag link clearance.
Or does the brake heat get absorbed into the wheel and tire via radiation? How would we find out?
