JMO, but I'd stay away from 16.5's. Wait and find a set of wheels you like in 16". You'll save a lot of money on 16" tires vs 16.5" tires.

I've got 33x12.50x16.5's on my highboy and I've got no complaints and last time I looked at getting tires wal-mart could get bfg all-terrians for $184 a pice but I'm going with an agressive tread tire or old military tires so I didn't bother to have them ordered.
