What tires fit 16.5x9.75 wheels?
I am looking at some 16.5x9.75 aluminum slots on CL and am wondering what size tires fit these wheels?
Ideally I would like some BFG Radial T/A's, or something similar...not mud tires Thanks! |

There are a few threads on here about this......It depends on if you are putting them on a 4x4 or 2x4...........Your options are however limited.

Yeah it's a two wheel drive... I just found some pics of 33x12.5's but they are BIG.

the only tires that will work are 33x12.5 and 35x12.5, and they wont fit a 2wd. Also, bfg is phasing them out.

33x12.5's will work on a 2WD. I had them on my 72 3/4 ton. It was close, but they did not rub.

Re: What tires fit 16.5x9.75 wheels?
16.5's are becoming a thing of the past, I'd recommend going with a 15" or 16" wheel. There are some off brand companies that still make them but I think Cooper and BFG are the only two major companies left that make em IIRC.
And like said above, I think they are phasing them out.

7.00 x 16.5
8.75 x 16.5 9.50 x 16.5 That is all that is currently made for your truck....... I just put some 9.50's on mine.

Re: What tires fit 16.5x9.75 wheels?
Ok, I passed on those 16.5's... thanks for the advise.
so the next question is did they make 16" slots or rally's with 8-lug patterns?

I could of swore I saw a set of 8 lug 16" slots for sale a while back, but I may be wrong.
