Tire size on 15" x 6" Steelies?

[kchampagne]

Hey all,

I have a 65 Burb 4x4 and have been looking for 16" x 6 lug, 4 nub wheels for some time. I've come to the conclusion that finding 4 of these is going to be almost impossible. As plan B, I found a set of 15" x 6" 4 nub. I am looking for the largest aggressive size tire that will fit on this rim. Is anyone running a 30x9.5R15 size tire on a 15" x 6" rim? Most of the tire brands indicate a minimum recommended rim size of 6.5" for the 30x9.5R15 tire. I am not sure if I can make them work. Any input is much appreciated!
