you'd be surprised how well a square block can fit in any shape hole with a big enough hammer....

but no matter the hammer size, a 16" tire is a no go on a 16.5" wheel.... i believe it's printed right on the side of most tires not to mount onto a XX.5" wheel.

BFG AT T/A KO on the interwebs for 226/each

Interco SS IROK in 36x13.50

Interco SSR in 35x14.50 and 35x12.20

Life would be easier if you were to choose a more accepted or up and coming wheel size.

that would just be a half inch off in the other direction....

from my past experiences, tires that fit rim sizes ending in .5 usually are heavy duty commercial, trailer or construction tires.
