Older light truck, skidsteer, farm implements ran 16.5". As far as light trucks it's pretty much a dead size. I have a pickup with 16.5 rims and your choice for tires is 1 or 2 highway tread or $$ off road tires. If and when I replace the tires I'll have to buy 16 or 17" rims. But yeah a 16.5 on a 16" rim is bad sauce.
