there are guys that run 16" wheels. it just requires a little grinding of the caliper. doesnt affect its strength at all. a 16.5" wheel may not need any modification despite it being generally accepted that 17" is the smallest we can go.

those 37" goodyear MT's would be SWEET!

THere are a few that run 16.5 not a ton of grinding on rear but more on the front from what I remember.

16.5 wheels are typically 8 bolt lug pattern, so that is probably what the goodyear mt package is

wheel adapters would fix that issue no problem. As for the wheel size, the rear will do 16" no problem without any caliper grinding (its a smaller rotor). The front is what is in question.

You'd think they'd be able to get wheels for whatever application you have. Hmm, might have to
e-mail them

Then why do guys grind the rears to fit 16 inch track wheels?
