No idea. Most people are dumping them for 16" wheels.

It depends, I spent over two years looking for 8.25x16.5 rims. I finally found some though. If they are 8.25 or 9.75 wide then they are worth something but anything skinnier than that, they aren't.

![]() I think BF Goodrich is the only manufacturer left making tires for 16.5 rims, unless you want a skinny trailer-type tire--but you wouldn't put those on a wider rim anyway.

Dunlop and some others are still making tires in 31, 33 and 35 inch x 16.5-inch diameter. There are some off-road only tire manufacturers as well. I just bought two 9.75 inch x 16.5 inch Firestone steel wheels for $12.50/each. I would have paid more and may have to when I find another couple to match. There were other 8.25 and 9.75 wheels at the swap meet but they did not have the stock hubcap clips I wanted or I would have bought them too. In fact I would have bought them without the clips if they would have worked since I can install the clips. Prices are low but it really depends upon who is looking. I have to agree with MJN on the sizes!
catseye...whatcha got? Stock '68 hubcaps? LOL!

Yep...I got the proper stock fan spacer from americanrider...he had a couple laying on his garage floor! My fan my be wrong since it is/was approximately 19+ inches in diameter. I "radiused" the tips in my precision machining center (belt sander...LOL!) to about 18.625-inch diameter. It works great. I will worry about a 100 pt. stock fan and shroud later. At least now the fan sits where it belongs in relation to the shroud.
I hope I did not suggest that I would sell my NOS 16.5 trim rings! I understand that they are still available through most parts stores. I am going to run Anniversary Gold wheels, stock hubcaps and stainless trim rings. What wheels are you running?
