Yes, 16.5". I also have sets of 35s, 36s, and 38s for the same size rims though not in my backyard.
if i swap in a dana 60 from an f350 in my bronco, whats the smallest wheel i can run cause ill need 5 of that size in an 8 lug plz!
You may be able to fit a 15" w/ some grinding on the calipers.
15 inch wheels will work on a ford 60 if you get 2.75 back spacing,with little to no grinding. You can run 3 but you will have to do some grinding.
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
Knoeller made a 1986 bronco with a D60 and ran 15" wheels, the thread is here, but all the pictures are gone. About a year ago we parted the truck, I have his 60 and his wheels. From what I gather it took a lot of grinding to get 15's to work. I would suggest 16's or larger.

16s might cost more but I think they stay on the bead better than 15s, and way better than 16.5s.
that said, if I could swing 15" wheels for the rover I'd go that route. wheels almost pay for themselves with the price difference.

Before going out and dropping the coin on a set of rims I would first consider your long term plans for the build, especially what tires you want to eventually run. Like everyone has stated, 15's and a 60 require caliper grinding which I would avoid. I chose to run 16's because I already had tires but in hindsight I wish I would have sold the tires and bought 17's. That would have given me more choices as far as tires go such as the BFG KM2's, Krawler's, etc...
I've got 15's on my 609 with no grinding.
