Looking for an odd sized wheel, and don't know where to look for it.

[AyWoSch Motors]

I'm looking for a set of rims that are 5x4.75 holt pattern, but 16in, and have a relatively shallow backspace, so that it offsets the wheel outward more.

If anyone has a set of be intersted, but more so, I'm just trying to figure out where to look for them. I know that chevy cars and S10s are 5x4.75, but there almost always 15in and that wont fit. And I have a set of 16ins with 4.75 pattern, but the have a deep offset, tucking the wheel in further.

Where would I look for such a creature, or would I have to just buy a set new?

Ayden,
Check with Discount Tire. I know they have a national site. I bought some 16" trailer rims in that pattern, or maybe 5 on 5". Anyway, they weren't too pricey, maybe $45-50 each. It's an unusual size in 16", so wrecking yards and CL may be iffy. I did the same thing you're trying, and after wasting time and fuel, it was easier to just buy them new.

I checked both my junkyards, only 4.75s I found were s10 wheels that are 15in, and one set I think off a caddy that were like 18s or 20s.

My other thought was to run a 2 in spacer to push the wheel I have out, or buy a 4.75 to 6 lug chevy lug adapter, and just run squarebody wheels, but those adpaters/spacers are almost as expensive as new rims.

I had to go the 2inch spacer route on my trailer,because I couldn't find the right offset. I got them off ebay slightly used,pretty cheap.Its worth a look.Tricky thing is everyone lists them for what they bought them for so you have to research what car had what bolt pattern

That's a good thought.

I actually came up with a solution that worked. This issue was on my 84 Corvette. I ended up finding a set of wheels that fit perfectly on it. They're 15in steel wheels with a deep offset to stick them out far.
The 15in rim I had tried to fit on it originally was a thick aluminum rim, and I realise it was way thicker than a steel wheel. This one was alot thinner, and the deep offset put the shallow part out away from the rotor and caliper that it was hitting before. Has plenty of clearance now.
Also put the wheel farther out, so the larger tire size wont rub on the frame.

These are the ones it had. Stock corvette 16x9s turbines.

And these are the ones I have on it now.
A bit rusty, but they work.

Funny story on those actually. I was at my buddies house helping him with something, and he had 3 of those rims laying in his scrap pile. I was like hmm... I wonder if those would work. So I he said I could have them in trade for the help that afternoon.
So then I had 3, and I was thinking, "well I'm never going to find a 4th". The. The next day I was crawling around in the dust in my boss's attic and I found 2 exactly like them just sitting there. He said I could have them. Nice. Got a spare now too.
Then I was thinking, "i need some tires now... hmm. What could I use?"
Then the day after that my other friend gave me a set of 4 tires that were on his dads car. Fit like a glove.
Go figure.

So now I have a set of wheels for my car, didnt cost me a dime, and are the perfect wheels for what I needed.
