Back in the day we would run 9.00 x 16s. Those were the equivalent size of a Q78 x 15, which was listed as 36.4 tall. Long gone are those tires, but here is a set from Coker tire, listed as Super Lug, 36.3 tall.

Here's another 9.00 x 16 tire listed. These are listed to fit a 6.5 x 16 rim size.

Both tires will fit a 5 - 6.5" wide rim.
