Re: What are 16.5 good for?

It's going to be pretty tough to get a 16" tire on a 16.5" wheel. 16.5" wheels are sized to ensure that the proper load rating tire will be installed. I've seen people put 15" car tires on trucks and when they carry a load they get broken down really quickly. I was going to go to a different size wheel because of concern about scarcity, but 16.5" tires are still available, and I can't see dropping a pile of scratch on new wheels.
