There aren't that many on the road anymore. 16.5" rims haven't been made in eons, and after there were enough people in tire shops trying to mount 16" tires on 16.5" rims and damn near killing themselves... they really stopped making them.

I'm surprised there are ANY tires available for them.

Coker tire might have some 16.5" nostalgic type tires available.
