We do have some replacement wheels like part # AM20725DX that would fit your application but if you are wanting replacement 9.50 x 16.5 tires then you will have to order those specially from your local tire shop.

If you'd like to upgrade your tires to a more common tire size then I recommend going with the Westlake ST235/85R16 Radial Tire # LHWL410 paired with the w 16" White Spoke Wheel # AM20750. This has a smaller width and about a 1" larger diameter than your current tires (so just verify you have enough room for 1/0" less clearance on your fenders) plus it has an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern which should match with what you have. The Endurance tire has a weight capacity of 4,400 lbs at 110 psi and a max speed rating of 75 mph.
