I need to find a set of these. Ideally 16.5X9.75. Anyone got a clue where I could find a set? I heard there was a bloke in new south that will make rims practically however u want em.
Cheers,

16.5? what's going to fit on them??
9.75 wide. I'm guessing it's jacked up to the max..

About the only things that run 16.5 inch dia tyres are bobcats, and I think the old 8 stud F250-350 Fords.
There are wheel manufacturers around that would be able to make up any size and fitment of rim you wanted.

The tyres are Cooper Discovers - 33x12.5R16.5.
Next week the Spring Over conversion is being done! so I need soomething to fill the guards. And it already has raised leaves front and rear so...
And in a month or so, Bundera diffs and axles are popping in!
So I'll have more oppurtunity to user my dual stage boost controller that I have just installed.

What model Cooper Discoverer are they? They'd want to be something special to warrant spending $$$ on 16.5" rims!

For a 33x12.50 i wouldn't even bother with sizes for a 16" wheels let alone this odd size, just stick to a normal 15x8 steel rim.
