If you run into trouble finding the 16.5's, 73-87 C20/30 8 lugger steelies will fit also and the caps pop on the same way - much easier to find than 16.5s and some will argue that there are more tire options for 16s. I converted to 16's on my 72, but kept the 16.5s on my 71 (Both wear Firestone TransForce HTs, so tires are available for both, just less options for the 16.5s). Here's a pic for motivation:
