has anyone ever taken 16.5" wheels and turned them into 16" using the 16.5" centers

Maybe I should put these up on E-Bay and soak the more gullible.

Thanks also for the link chewychevy67. The wide 16.5" and tall 17.5" wheels are rare and hard to find and are worth it to those who are into a unique period correct restoration. Tires are harder to find, but still can be ordered at truck tire dealers.It seems the daily driver type vehicles will aviod this wheel and tire combo, but for show crowd, they are worth keeping.As for the true price value of a period correct optional rim, the NAPCO ( 50's 4X4's ) crowd seem to appreciate a factory correct restorations, while the later 4X4 crowds do not seem to show the same interest.
