16.5 wheels or any other .5 wheel sizez dont let you air down very far. The reason being is that the .5 size wheels have only a 15 degree bead seating surface on the wheel, and there is not very much tire bead contact to the rim. When you air them down, the bead will un-seat itself. Also they are trying to phase out 16.5's anyway. You should just stick with 16's.
