I need to know the bolt pattern diameter of the Wide 5 rims of '36-'39 Fords.

1/2"-20 (just like all Fords of that era). However, one thing to be aware of is that race cars called "Modifieds" have used the early Ford "Wide-5" pattern for years, and most of the specialized racing equipment used 5/8" studs. This includes most wheel adapters and spacers.
