Why?

I imagine tires won't be easy to find either.

arent the half inch rims usually used on trucks? thats all ive ever seen them on anyways. so you could probably find heavy duty truck tires, but as said before, finding car tires would be tough. and just for your safety 16'' and 17 tires will not work, you need 16.5

I have 16.5 on the work vans at my job. Ive only seen tires for these rime with tall profiles-no good for cars.
