so i bought a set of WHAT I THOUGHT were 16x8 Black Racing wheels
(watanabe ripoffs).

(yes, they're getting repainted)

I take them to the sweet mexican used tire shop, and they have EXTREME difficulty getting a 16 inch tire on. "ok", i think "maybe these are 17's and the guy didnt list them correctly".

wrong,
17's fall over the wheel completely.
on the spider, it says "16x8"

I measure the wheel from mounting point to mounting point, and they're 16.5.

now, outside of super swampers or other assorted offroad tractor tires, what and where can i find some shoes for these peices of crap?

bonus picture of a SSR that was reversed for no reason, and now has no use:
