c20 tire size?

Went to Costco looking for 9.5x16.5 tires and was quoted $200 per tire So - what metric tire size will fit a stock c20 wheel? I have thought about upgrading to aftermarket wheels, but holding off on that to complete other projects.

You'll need new rims. 16 inch truck tires are WAY cheaper than 16.5.

I went with LT235/85/16.
About $85-100 and up depending where you buy them.

That's kinda what I figured. Just found Stockton Wheel Looks like they carry stock hubcaps as well. I wonder what a set would cost?
