hey socal, nice unit i would start another topic and post closeup pics of the rims you have now - the none spoked ones look to be off a early cj5 or ford but hard to tell original rims were kelsey hays either 15 or 16in diameter, my '57 came with the 16 x 4.5 wide rims for tubed tires, bolt pattern is 5 x 5.5 std for cj and ford the PO also have me 4 rims ( 2 styles ) one of which looks like yours, 1 set was off early cj5 and the other off jeep commando both with large hub hole here is what the 16 x 4.5 look like :
