    I am having a tough time finding used stock wheels that will fit over 11" drums and I am trying to avoid going with the new Omix wheels at $180.00 a piece. Are there any other manufacturers wheels that have the same bolt pattern as the Jeep?

    5 on 5.5 shouldn't be too hard to find. I bought aftermarket wheels for my Jeep.

    The stock 16's should fit O.K. Walck's has'em for $95,

    https://www.walcks4wd.com/product.aspx?pid=2162

    Ford used the 5.5 pattern up till the mid 70's but the center hole was smaller the what's needed to fit over the front hubs. AFAIK KH still makes these & the hole can be cut out to fit by any decent wheel shop but it won't be as strong as the proper wheel.

    15" Stock 1988 Dodge Power Ram wheels have the bigger hole. They fit over the caliper in the front and the drum in the rear. FYI
