Have a ford 9" that has a 5 X 5 1/4" bolt pattern and can't find wheels for it. Two of us measured it several times. Help

That is probally out of a Lincoln or Mercury car May be difficult to find wheels for them How about changing the bolt pattern to 5x4.5 like stock Ford and Mopar

If your combo doesn't require the strength of after market components why not re-drill the axles and drums for 4.5" pattern?

Hard to say without seeing them, a lot of the early big pattern wheels and axles had really big center holes in them also Look twice, measure three times, change once

I don't know about 5 1/4 " , but I know some Lincoln and pick up truck were 5 3/4 and some Lincoln were 9 3/8ths ring gear.
28 spline , the centers would swap , but they had a companion flange as opposed to a normal yoke.

sorry there are no 5 x 5.25 patterns.
I listed the 5.5" but failed to mention no 5.25
here's a chart with all the sizes made and in use today. as for the 5.25 sometimes it's just how you measure. Not trying to be a smarty but if you are getting 5.25 by measuring across the center to the farthest hole it is the wrong way. the pattern is derived by the measuring the diameter of the circle and then counting the number of studs or holes placed evenly around that circle.

fred, i hate to be a naysayer, but my buddy had a 90-something t-bird with a [real close to] 5 1/4" bc. it was probably a metric measurement, but the wheels from his 76 "starskey" torino most definately were a tad bigger than the 'birds, butthe 'birds wheels were far smaller than a 5" and way bigger than a 4" bc., but were NOT 4 1/2.

i thimk 49 ford truck[1/2 ton] is 5 1/2"bc. the 'bird wheel was definately smaller than 4 1/2", so you most likely are correct with the 133.35mm pattern. remember the mm "tire size debacle" ford had for the mousetwange for a while? something like a something-376mm tire size??? nor 14" or 15" but 35345mm ?
