Speaking of 16.5 inch wheels, are tires still available for these?

I bought a set of 4 white wagon wheels with 31"x 10.5 inch tires for get this...a whopping $60 dollars at the Maple grove, Pa. flea market recently.

A very quick search in 1 or 2 catalogs didn't show any tires in 16.5.

Even if they are obsolete, the tires are really decent (about 3/4 good) so I'll get my $60 dollars worth out of them! LOL Im doing pretty good with my '71 so far. I paid $50 for the truck and $60 for the wheels/tires!

If this pic works, this shows the truck exactly as I bought it with the ugly wheels/tires but they are 16.5's. Big improvement with the nice ones. I also did alot to the body so it's not quite as ugly anymore. LOL

yEs, 16.5 are still out there, but you'll pay for them. I think I'll buy 2 for my truck (it has two new ones already) and then start getting one rim at a time till I'm all set.
Well here's a shot of a '71 Longhorn with the original hub caps with a 9.50 16.5 tire.

Are you set on going with 16.5"? You can get alot of choices in the 16" rim size and still not have a problem with caliper clearance.

Here's a pic of the back side of my 16" rim with 35" tire.
