Actually they are, you have to sepcial order them. They shouldn't charge any more than any other bolt pattern 16.5" wheel.

The question is why are you looking for that size? Gonna run military tires?

16.5" was designed for 1ton+ trucks and most tires available in that wheel size are E rated or above, gonna be a pretty harsh ride.

actually yeah they are military tires. i can get some 37"s super cheap and if i can get el cheepo rims then i'll buy the tires and use the set up strictly for offroading. i just have a hard time running 37" mt's on the street. i'd rather get some at's and nice rims for everyday.

I bought the spacers that change your bolt pattern to 5X5.5. and got some cheap stealies. I won 4 of them for $10 on ebay. I like these better than my bfg mt i was running before,
