Have a 1964 chevy truck. It has a 283 4spd. Limited slip longbed. Has the original rims that are only little over 5 inches wide. Have the hubcaps and want to keep it original. Now am having problems finding tires that will fit these rims. Came with I think 650 16". Has 700 16" on it now that we're trailer tires. Tread is good but old and cracked. Flat spots. . But got the 650 removed today from spare and rims are only 5 1/4 " wide. And had a tube still in it.

Tire shop is a bit.purplexed and doesn't have any Tire they would recommend. Surely someone here has some thoughts??? Without spending 2000$ on tires. It's a driver for now.
