Boyd Coddington 3/4 Ton Series wheels

04 PSD CC 4x4 Short Bed Lariat
I am looking into ordering a set of Boyd Coddington 3/4 tons wheels but I noticed they only make a 16.5 x 9.75. I will mostly use the truck for highway use but occacionally I head out to the sand dunes. I have been told, the 16.5 wheels are not designed to be air down at a low PSI. Is this true? I won't do any serious offroading in the sand. I just need to get in and out with a 7,000lbs toy box trailer.

I have a 6" lift and I want to run some 36" Super Swampers TSL SX, or IROK, Possibly TRXUS STS. Is it difficult to find tires for 16.5 x 9.75 wheel or should I stick with a 16 x 10 wheel?

Any pros or cons on the Boyd Coddington wheels?

16.5 rims lack the safety bead. 15, 16 and 17 rims are better. In your application 15" rims won't fit unless you grind your calipers down. Which can be done but I wouldn't do it. I would stick with the 16" or 17" rim size. Yes there is more of a selection for the 16.5's especially in the Super Swamper brand. Iroks come in 16 and 17" sizes though. If your gonna air down on the dunes which is recommended, I would stay away from the 16.5" rims unless you get bead locks.
