No. Assuming you are asking about the WDX-WM300 1-ton model produced from 1946 thru 1968. Commonly referred to as "Farm Friendly Power Wagon" (FFPW).
There were only two wheel sizes from the factory 16x6.5 with 9:00x16 tires and 16x5.5 with 7:50x16 tires.
Now, there were some trucks special ordered that wound up in the desert sand dunes and some that would up as Hi-Railers. Some of these may have been fitted with special wheels - possibly in the SEG division of the factory or by outside vendors. There may have been other instances where one may find odd size wheels. But in any case, anything other than 16x6.5 or 16x5.5 would be as rare as hens teeth.
Just an FYI. I mentioned in another post how my truck is going to be the Featured Truck of the Year at the Mt. Pleasant Old Settlers and Threshers Reunion. Well, if you go to the website a reporter for the Thresher's Chaff newspaper wrote up a few paragraphs about my truck for the Summer 2022 issue. She called me to get some personal information. I was sick and did not ask many questions. She told me she got a whole bunch of information off of the internet. She got some things wrong. Now a lot of people who read the story are going to believe it as they do not know any better.
You are wise to get your information here (and at t137.com). Most other places on the internet have stories that need to be taken with a grain of salt. There is just as much bad information out there on the internet about Power-Wagons as there is good information.
