There is a shop in Ca. Pico wheel and tire that can probably make a set for you. But 16.5 tires come off the bead very easy at low pressure

Rim width plays a huge part in things. An example- I run 15x10's and a 31x10.50 tire. Most of the opinions on here said that airing down at all would not be an option for me. I've been down to 16 on the rocks at Rausch Creek without losing a bead. I understand the risks associated with my setup but it doesn't deter me from running it.
Actually the 16.5 tire has a tapered bead and doesn't lock onto the wheel neerly as tight as 16 ,17 etc..

I got these off of eBay. You're trying to run military 37's, right? Love mine!
