Not likely to be much that will fit cleanly into a thirdgens' wheelwell. AFAIK, anything in a 16.5" size is gonna be for a medium-to-heavy duty truck.

haha this is out there huh.
how do you know it is a 16.5 wheel? did you measure it and what does it go on for a vehicle.
from my experiance.....16.5 rims are old truck rims med size the 16" is the tire inside bead seat diameter, the .5 is the anglke of the bead seat. so the rim has a 5 deg angle to seat the tire on it.
now if you measuring a camaro or bird wheel with a tape or something try again there is no 16.5 car wheels.
when measuring rims dod not include the lip on the side of the rim only the bead seats or flat spots..
