I've looked at thousands of trucks in the junk yards and never seen a single one.

What did they come on?

I knew the factory never made 16.5's with 5 lugs. I thought you were looking for something stock.

A popular choice is recentered Hummer wheels with any BP you want. They aren't going to be cheap though, and probably not worth it.

I could really care less about the stock rims. I'm not trying to build a show truck or anything.

Two of them... that's fantastic. So you can spend the rest of your life looking for the other two. The stuff you find on craigslist.

Actually I have found three different wheel manufacturers that make 16.5" rims with 5 lugs.

I know this is an old thread, but I came across these on Ebay and thought I'd share in case someone is still looking.

16.5 unfortunately are just about a dead duck as far as an availablitlity is concerned any more. unless you want 12.50 x 33 or bigger. a standard 9.50 16.5 is only about 31.5 to 32 inches tall they were a low profile tire, same height as a p235/75 15 if you really have your hart set on a bit taller wheel and tire go with 16 inch wheels and tires they are considered a hi profile tire and still have a lot of sizes available.
