The 225/75R16 tire is the direct replacement for the 8.75 x 16.5 tire. If your rig has 9.50 x 16.5 tires then the 235/75R16 is a little smaller and the 245/75R16 is a little bigger. All these sizes are available in 10 ply AKA load range E AKA 123/120Q. Depending on brand they should range from $95 to $150. An auto salvage yard you should be able to get the appropriate wheels for about $100 apiece. Yes it is a big outlay all at once, but once done you can find tires, especially the 235/75R16, everywhere. Which will be really important in the middle of no where on a dark, rainy night.

Lakota Wolf, yes. However the word is 16s will rub the front brakes. Posting this was a hail mary. I guess this is my buyers remorse day, I alternate...

Maybe a dumb question,, But do you want 17.5 rims? Those size tires are not easy to come by,,, Just drop to a 16 ,, 8 bolt, rim.. speedo will only be off by 2 mph on a higher profile tire,, and easier to find replacement tire.
