fat 16" tires?

looking for some tires for 10" and 12" 16" wheels.
i browsed a few sites and 255 was the widest i could find.

anybody know where to even source some fat 16's, mostly street duty.

im thinking of buying some wheels from diamond, but maybe i should not, and look into someone who makes steel 17's, since they have much more choice in tires.

The Kumho's are a maybe, the others probably aren't what you are looking for. Really if you want to go that wide you will probably be better off going with 17" wheels.

Looks like the VictoRacer 700 also comes in 265 45 16 which is just barely rated for a 10" wheel.
