I believe they were originally 6.5x16.Later on they were 7".These trucks would have come with 7.50x16 rubber on those rims.The 16.5s were shorter(8.50s)and wider.Too small in my opinion.The metric equivelent these days to the 7.50 is the 235/85x16.If you want to keep the look,but go for more beef,255/85s look good.They`ll still fit unless front springs are tired.No pics at the time(soon),but,I`m running the same set-up as Cheyenne10 on my Highlander & 9.75x16.5 OEM-type/Factory caps/12.50x16.5 rubber on my SierraGrande,a hybrid-stock look.These trucks were available with 8.25x16.5 rims(K/20)&8x15(K/10)to fit bigger 9.50-10.50 tires.
