Old 15 wagon rims

I have an old running gear that I wanted to put some new tires on. Then I realized that I had a lot of issues going on with the rim size. For starters the rims are 5 lugs on about 5.5" centers. Then the center hole is 4.5" in diameter. To make things worse 3 of the tires are 15" and ne is 14" Of the 4 rims only 2 are currently usable. How common are 5 lug 15" rims with the 4.5" center holes?? I hope our local tire shops may have one somewhere otherwise I will be watching the farm auctions
 
Do you have a tire shop that deals a lot in farm tires? If you do they may have one or know where you can get one or they may be able to find a new wheel that will work.
 
Check the tire stores for the wheel cross reference, size. From your description- look for large Ford 4x4 wheels like a F150 or a Jeep J4000 or Dodge. The large center hole is typical of the old manual locking hubs, the 5 bolt large diameter circle is similar the 6 hole Chevy circle - the 5 hole pattern for Jeep was carried over as a government standard on Dodge, some Fords and became a civilian common pattern for 4x4s and some 2 wheel drives- farm equipment maker would use a relatively common hub and wheel that had a decent price advantage from economy of scale production.

Those 15" wheels were real popular during the 1950's. When the 15's came in, 16" tires became hard to find.
 
Ford F150 in the 70's had that bolt pattern,also Dodge and International used the 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern,the problem will be finding 15 inch rims,a lot of them were 16's.You can still buy new rims in that bolt pattern.
 
I think any 5 bolt implement rim will fit. Any farm tire shop should have them in stock, not wallmart or
TSC or Orchlins. Take a good 1 with you and have them look. They are or were common. sold dozens of them.
 
Last fall I bought a 15"x6" 5-bolt wheel with 5.5" bolt centers. It was around $60. They are very common and easy to find. However, they have a 4" center hole, not a 4.5" as you say you need. I'm guessing a 4.5" center hole on a farm implement wheel is hard to find.
