I have a chance to get a set of Marchesini wheels for my 98 S1W and it's a good deal...but the rear is a 16.5", not 17". I know I can get race tires in that size, anyone have a source for street tires for that wheel? I hate to pass up the wheels, but....if I can't put shoes on 'em they don't do much good, eh? : (

I've never heard of a 16.5 rear?

Avon might be the people to ask. They are the manufacturer of choice for custom builders because they specialise in small runs of odd, or not so frequently used tyres.

you are not going to find DOT legal tires for a 16.5 rim

Nope, no street tires in 16.5"

Therefore, aren't 16.5 inch race rims for front wheel fit only?
