Looking for a wheel.

Getting new tires for the M886 and just noticed one mismatched wheel. I need an Accuride 31972 16x7K. I think it's a Ford wheel, not sure what's original for a '77 M886 but these will be close enough. Oh yeah, I'll be putting on some BF Goodrich KO T/A 265/75 16's, hope they work o.k.
Thanks

Be advised that the original tire size is 9.50R16.5D. note the 16.5 wheels. If you have 16s, they are replacements. If you have original wheels the 265/75-16s will not fit.

The wheels are replacements, currently have 16's on them, just the one mismatched rim. I tried Google, Ebay and other sources for a matching rim but no luck so far.

Soylent,

This rim info is fantastic!
Accuride 31972 16x7K.
So far I have only found 16x6 rims from a Dodge van
other than aftermarket spoked / slotted / whatever rims.
The original 16.5's were 6 7/8 wide and the 6in ones are just too narrow for a decent tire.
265/75R16's fit nicely on a 7 inch rim.
My daily driver has 265/75R16 BFG Mud Terrains on 7 inch rims

Got the BFG's on today, rides better, tracks better, looks better. About ready to start prepping for paint. Kind of needs a new hood but haven't found one yet. Bob, you ready to start parting out one of yours? :roll:
