wheel and tire help

[PaleBlue90]

found a set of 4 33inch mud kings with 75% tread for free. there for a 16.5inch wheel. is it possible to make them fit onmy 16inch jeep rubicon wheels from a 04 rubicon.

there 33 by 12.50's for a 16.5inch wheel

no...

You absolutely have to use a 16.5" wheel with a 16.5" tire. Anything else and I don't want to be around when it blows apart.

ya a half inch doesn't sound like much but i don't think i'd try. Just try to sell your 16.5" wheels to go towards a set of 16's. Since you got the tires for free your still saving a ton of money just having to get different wheels.

I would sell the tires, 100% profit. Then buy tires that will fit the rims that you want.

IMO 16.5's are a dead end tire, replacement tires are not as common as either 16's or 17's anymore and are more expensive when you do find them.

no way to put a 16.5 tire on a 16 wheel nor a 17...it wont work...period

yeah, the tire size and rim size have to match EXACTLY or no go, they won't even bead up.

16.5 is the standard size for humvee 2 piece wheels, I dont know waht ford vehicles use 16.5 good luck with that.

Sorry i had my numbers criss crossed i suppose i would probably sell the tires but if you can't get what you want for them then i would just run them...can't beat the price.

Yeah, even those haven't had them for 20 or 30 years now.

Our skid steer loader has 16.5" rims.

 

[adsm08]

My '75 F-250 had 16.5 wheels, but the bolt pattern would be wrong for what you want.
