Difficulty finding 33x12.50 R16.5

My truck (95 F-350 4x4 CC) takes these tires 33x12.50 R16.5
I thought my wheels were stock, but apparently 16.5 are not stock? Wierd.. In any event, I cannot find this tire! The tires that I can find are over 400$ a piece

Does anyone have a source?? Or is there a similar size that works for this wheel?

At one time I had 16.5 rims on my truck. I went to stock rims because of what you are running into.

16.5" rims are kind of hard to find tires for. I have a set of 16" rims and tires I am trying to get rid of... Might be a little far for you though lol

I would personally switch back to a normal sized rim.

This is where I'm headed. Stock wheels were 16"X7" wide? 8x6.5 lug? What were the offsets?

I would suggest looking at a 16x8. A touch wider wheel and it won't balloon the tires as much if you are wanting to run a 12" wide tire

Unfortunate the size is no longer made by many company's and the ones that do have some very aggressive thread and only in a 8 ply

If you're going to buy new wheels, you might want to consider 17s. Most, if not all, new trucks and SUVs have moved to 17" wheels, so the availability and pricing will likely be better than 16s.
