2 different size rims?

my front tires are fine but my rear tires are BALD and i am in need of new ones, but upon close inspection i found that my front tires are 215/85R16 and my rears are 9.50R16.5, is this stock. and this also means that i cant rotate normally?

The 16.5's are stock, someone's upgraded your front. Good idea to upgrade your rear too, 16.5s are expensive and obsolete.

16'' inch 8 bolt rims should be plentyfull, at least around here the plain steel ones are. Besure to get the one piece so you can run tubless, don`t bother with the older split rims.
I want to convert my 53 M350 to 8 bolt wheels, get away from the 6 holers/17'' tires.
