From what I know the rear wheels were a dealer and/or aftermarket add-on not uncommon for use on trucks with slide-in campers. For fun, ask the owner or look for evidence that it hauled a camper once upon a time. The wheels themselves are desirable for some folks ( http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=480631) as they're real deep but finding tires for the 16.5 diameter is tough anymore outside BFG ATs - not bad if you have a 4x4 though. I have a set of these tires new for my K20 build. If those are indeed 16.5 x 9.75's you're probably better off selling them and going with a 16" or so wheel. Good luck on the trip.
