There are two possible options for you.

The Dexstar Dual Wheel # AM20790 which is the 16" x 6" size you need with the 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern, uses flange nuts instead of standard lug nuts, and would work with the 225/75R16 tire you have. This wheel has 5-1/2" offset and has a 4.88" pilot hole.

The other option is the Lionshead Steel Dual Wheel # LHHA420 which is also 16" x 6", has the 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern, takes flange nuts, and has the same 5-1/2" offset but this wheel has a 4.77" pilot hole.

Since these wheels are centered via the hub instead of the lug nuts you need to measure the pilot hole of your current wheels and match it to one of the above options. Going with the incorrect pilot hole can cause serious issues as the wheel would not be centered on the hub.

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
