You can change from 16-1/2 inch to 16 inch wheels for a dual trailer wheel set up. You will need a new tire size though as tires need to have the same inner diameter of the wheel in order to fit. So long as you have an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern, you can use the following dual wheel 16 inch wheels.

- Load Range E (3,100 lb Capacity): Provider ST235/80R16 Trailer Tire with 16" Silver Dual Wheel # TA95FR

This is a hub-piloted wheels so you will need wheel nuts to mount them, 8 of the Flange Wheel Nut - 5/8" # 95188.
