A good tire shop should be able to help you. Possibly an auto wrecker with an interchange catalog. You can also download Accuride's Catalog. One thing you need to understand is "OFFSET" which works out to be the spacing between the sidewalls of the dual wheels. Page 47 of the Catalog has a chart explaining Offset and telling you how much Offset is required by Tire Size. Then you should be able to look up the vehicle you have now. Get the Piloting and Bolt Circle. Then from there find a vehicle with corresponding Piloting and Bolt Circle. Then check the Offset (and other dimensions) for the tires you want against your 8.00/16.5's. Southwest Wheel is another popular vendor and probably has a catalog or online lookup. Hopefully you'll find a Donor Vehicle that's popular and you can start scouring wrecking yards.
