You need to be carefull in Aus with 16.5 inch rims as in Aus that size of rim was mainly used on Bobcat, Ditch Witch, Boom lifts ETC type machines and the rims dont have the safety bead that are an ADR requirement and hold the tyre on the rim (small raised section of rim approx 25 mm from outer bead on the rim) this is what pops when you seat the the tyre and prevents the bead of the tyre from being easly debeaded. I looked in to this a few years ago and stuck with the 15 and 16" rims as 16.5 rims wernt available for road use. They work fine on industrial equipment as the tyres have fairly high tyre pressures or even solid filled. Stick to the conventional rim sizes its a safer bet. There may be some proper 16.5 inch rims around but you need to be sure they are for 4B use.
