You are about SOL unless you want a BFG all terrain .
get rid of your 16.5s and buy 16 in wheels

No safety bead was the demise of the 16.5

Re: Who makes tires for 16.5 rims?

make sure they clear your brakes and stuff

thats Why I had to go to 16.5 years ago doing a conversion ,,

I bought 16.5 and tires right on the cusp of the transition to 17 plus but no one had decent offerings at a good price .. so I went 16.5 = bad choice

16's if they fit don't need bead locks unless you air down a lot to offroad

Re: Who makes tires for 16.5 rims?

I ran the military hummer tires on my obs for a few years, they are Goodyear mud terrain II, they say 36x12.5 but measured around 34" good in the mud, not real quite on the road and not that good in snow. There is a military surplus place around here and the tires sell new for around $100 a pop, that was a few years ago tho.
