The only option we can offer you would be to replace the tires with a more common size as we do not carry any 8.75/R16.5 tires. The closet size we have for you is the 7.50-16LT for which I recommend the Kenda Light Truck Tire K391M part # AM10430. This tire measures 31.8" diameter x 8.4" wide whereas your tire measures 29" diameter x 9" wide. It has a load range F rating which is suitable for use up to 3,197 lbs per wheel.

If you can tell me the bolt pattern of your wheels then I can see if we have any that will work for you.

Would these tires fit on the factory rim

7.50-16 size tires like the Kenda # AM10430 will fit 16" diameter wheels that have a 6" width. If this matches your current factory rims then they will fit perfectly. If not just let us know and we can hook you up with a better option, or a tire and wheel combo to replace everything.
