I wonder if they are really 16 inch...16.5 is the more common size. I blew up the picture a bit but the writing became too pixalated.

Yeah,it looks like it just says 16,which would amaze me.I have never seen that.I sent him a question asking what the actual tires size is shown on the tire.I figure the answer will be honest rather than if I questioned his claim they are 16s.If he`s crooked he may know that 16s sell better than 16.5s.They`re 8.25s(8?).
Someone really wants them.Both bids are from the same member.They started at thier actual value,$300.

I have never seen 16" ones either. Can you make a 16" tire fit on a 16.5" wheel?? Most of these type wheels are stamped on the back what size they are.

I got a reply.If it`s true these are prolly mismounted 16" tires on 16.5s.Do those tires look like 235/85-16s.I guess I missed that in his description.I was going to reply they are mounted on 16.5s FYI,but they are sold.
Someone paid too much,that`s all I can say.$490 with worn tires to add to shipping cost and they really should never be on those wheels.
Joe`s right,the size should be stamped.I believe it`s even mandated,you`d think.Sure does avoid safety issues on down the road.
