35" Tires for 16.5 slots

[Burnsy01]

Afternoon all! I'm wanting to run a set of 16.5 8 lug slots I have on hand for my k20 , but tires seem to be extremely limited and expensive . I plan on daily driving it with a lot of towing. Any thoughts? I have a few ideas.

1. Suck it up and quit being cheap. ( Although not sure I'm being cheap since a set is $2,000)
2. Try to find a set of the 90's Mickey Thompson challenger/Alcoa's , although not sure I'm sold on the look.
3.We have some fantastic lathe guys and a new machine capable of holding these. It would take some R&D to make sure it would work but I may be able to modify the taper to accept a 16" tire. Not sure there is enough meat to do that.


Open to other suggestions!

Thanks as always,
Nick
