16.5 rims on a blazer

Looking at my SPID today and noticed it came from the factory with 16.5 rims. Is this unusual? I have not seen many 6 lug 16.5 rims, are they hard to find?

I have a set also but I am told there is an issue finding tires for them.

Re: 16.5 rims on a blazer

Most came with them, they are being phased out by the tire industry. I'm having a hell of a time finding a set of 16.5 8 lug wheels right now. A few years ago, they were everywhere.

Firestone carries them still or Traxion(?)

Not my truck just an example of those Traxion tires.
