my question is simple? will 16.5 fit our trucks? i know the 16" wont fit... what about that extra .5" ?

You will not want to go with a 16.5 inch wheel. first i think they only make 16.5 for full size 8 lug trucks but also the tire choice for this size wheel is not good and usually they are either not radials or just not good tires. do a little more research but i think the bead is different on these wheels that mkaes them not favorable unless you were to do a beadlock. 16.5's are a popular wheel for offroaders as they are cheap to purchase but they are cheap for good reason. dont buy them. just stick with a 17. why are you looking to go to a smaller wheel?

cause i want to go with the military 37" tires, not crappy tires at all!! great quality and will last more than most tires! also, the price that i can get them at are stupid cheap!! 200 each!

200 doesnt seem that cheap, they are used correct? and they are good offroad but dont have good road manners from what ive heard. I would just stay with 17 or bigger and find a set of nice used 37's.

technically they are used, but are at 98%-99% tread left, and i was wrong on the price, they are at $100-125. here are the ads

hell if you can find a rim that fits go for it. the only issue being the way the bead attaches to the wheel. but if you dont air down then you shouldnt have issues unless like i said u do a bead lock.

gotta find the wheels first before i think about a beadlock lol
