I’m looking to possibly find four cheap steel wheels with tires to put on my ‘72 Jav while it’s having bodywork and being painted. Anyone know what common cars have the same pattern?

Thanks guys!

Ford, Mopar, Toyota and many others all used the same stud pattern 5 x 4.5" on various models.

Find space savers from said vehicles and its easier to paint and do the bodywork.

I found 4 space saver spares from Ford Crown Victoria’s (think taxis and police cars). Less than $15 each at the local pull-n-save. They’re 16” wheels and fit great.  I’ve got them on my Rambler right now.  Store easily when not in use.

Some of the easiest to find if you don't want space savers, would be the 80's through 2000's ford rangers and some early explorers if you want steel, but many cars and light trucks have the same 5x4.5 pattern or 5x114.3 (metric).
