Looking for 16.5" Rims (1 Viewer)

A friend has free 37" tires with run flats but the catch is that I would need 16.5" Rims. Anyone have an old set laying around?

You can't air down 16.5 the tire will fall off the rim with less than 25psi.

Why? How is a 16.5" rim any different than a 16" or 17" rim?

Thanks Frank. Those were good links that explained that 16.5" rims don't have a safety bead and therefore are easier to pop a bead when aired down. Their advantage is mounting and unmoubtibg tires is very easy.
