Question About 3/4 Ton Suburban Rims

I have a 72' suburban that I am trying to keep as stock as possible, or at least in appearance. Although the tires that I have now are getting the job done I would like to buy new ones. When I went to Discount Tire to get a quote on a new set of 16.5" tires they said it would be about $1,050 for a set of four, and they could only get them in Bias Ply.

Since I don't want to pay that much for what is essentially trailer tires I was curious if there were any 16" 8 lug 3/4 ton rims from the mid to late 70s that would hold the 72' 3/4 ton hubcap. I am hoping so because I know that the 73 up style 3/4 ton hubcaps are just like ours except they are painted yellow. However I dont know if they were still 16.5 or 16" rims in 1973 and later. If there were 16" rims that will hold the stock 72' 3/4 ton hubcap please let me know what years to look for. Thanks.
