Why not just use 16" there everywhere now but disappearing fast used, they accept the stock hub cap usually come in 16x7 with a 4" offset so there about the same stickout as a 16.5 8.25 with a 4.75" backspace .
I just sold a set of 16.5x 6.75 with 2 new and 2 used tires for 400 bucks there's only a few good tires for them the Firestone Transforce 9.50 x 16.5 and it will be stretched on the 16.5x9.75 and the bias ply power king super highway 2 , how do I know ? I have a set of wagon wheels on the truck now the 16.5 x8.25 up front and 16.5 x9.75 in the rear with new Firestone Transforce they were 150 per tire 5 years ago .
The tires have gone up there like 210 per tire for the 16.5 , a 265/70/16 is 30.6 high 10.4 wide and it's like 120 per tire . The 275 /70/16 is 31.2" high and 10.8" wide there are so many more choices with the 16 " in tires and width plus the 16.5 don't have a safety bead I was at the tire shop and he undid the valve stem and once the tires reaches say 10 psi it just unbeaded from the wheel a 16" would not do that ...
I scored a set of 16" off a F250 cargo van 16x7 x5 wheels and I was going to run 16 x8 with a 4" backspace on the rear 16" will clear the big 2 piston disc brakes cuz I tried it before I put the wheel up to the hub and spun no hitting .
