Was just looking at a One-Seventy brochure and realized there were numerous pics of 5 bolt hubs in the pics along with 6 bolt shown too. Thought that had applied to the D17 era but then seen this on the one-seventy.

Under standard equipment was 6.00 x 16 4ply tires and optional were 6.00 6ply, 6.50 6ply and 7.50 6ply.

question, were 5 bolts put on until they ran out of those hubs and then put the 6 bolt hubs on (doesn't look like that) or did the tire size dictate what rim/hub went on or was this special order or ???

I know its been discussed in the past but don't remember the answers or the conclusions to the 5 bolt versus 6 bolt hubs or the reasons why. tia

sometimes photos for the brochures are of prototypes.
