Maybe search the salvage yards for a set of 16" wheels which would open up your tire choices... for reference, our C class runs 225/75x16 Load Range E. Google your size and see what pops up. For example, these are available but don't mention load rating. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Power-Kin...Tires/54988373

Yes, tires for 16.5 inch rims are getting hard to find. 16.5s were common on GM square body pickups (1973-1987) and many owners of these old trucks swap the rims for 16 or 17 inch for this reason. If you're going to change wheel and tire sizes be sure to pay attention to all of the details. Seek advice of a good wheel and tire shop if necessary. Safety first!
