The wheel cover adapters are the way to go, if you can find 16". But there are heavier 15" tires made (or were). LT series are available.

These are 15 x 10s. I originally bought them from Cepek for my '69 Dodge W200 (drum brake) because both tires and wheels were a lot cheaper than 16.5s. The smaller rim also made the tires look bigger, which was fine by me (37/14.50). On the '71 I just had to grind the caliper on the ridge of the casting seam a bit
