I went through the hassle of finding a set of 16.5" tires myself--ended up going with the 31 inch BFG All-Terrains. They carry them at COSTCO (I think the 33"s too) but they are 126 bucks apiece. A local place got them for me at the same price so I went with them.
No other manufacturer makes a 16.5 tire that big anymore. A couple companies still make 8.5 wide and 7.5 wide tires (that is how they size any 16.5 below 31x10.50x16.5) and Les Schwab has about 200 31x10.50x16.5's in a wharehouse in Seattle but they want more $$ to ship them to Spokane and I would have had to pay upfront--before I even saw the tires.
I felt like I really wanted to use the stock hubcaps and I might put beauty rings on after I do another cut and polish on the caps--but I got the look I wanted.
