I am looking for either a 15x5” rim with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. Evidently from a pre 70s keep?

When it comes to switching from your 15 inch x 5 inch rim to a 15 inch x 6 inch rim you will not have any issues making the switch. The tires are going to take up most of the room in diameter and width and same size tire will fit the 15 inch x 5 inch and the 15 inch by 6 inch rim.

I recommend going to The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 15 inch x 6 inch Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Silver Powder Coat # AM20539.This rim has a silver powder coat finish that is over a e-coat primer that provides excellent corrosion resistance. It has a modular design, they're made in the USA and has a weight capacity of 2,860 pounds.

The wheel bolt size is 1/2 inch - 20, and the pilot diameter is 4.27 inches.
