Re: Were 16.5 rims factory on 70 3/4 ton burbs ?

I am currently running 16.5's but I do have a set of 16's waiting to go on.

The tires on my 16.5's are BFG A/T's with lots of meat on them, but the problem with that is that they are not perfect. Over the years they have become bent in one direction or the other, so I can't balance them with out putting a bunch of wheel weights on.
But, being that the burb is long and heavy, I never notice this issue with the wheels.
I plan to eventually change to a more narrow tire on the 16's, and by that time I should be planning to take some road trips. To which I will feel better about doing with a wheel that can be fitted with most any brand tire while stuck someplace other than home.
