5 lug 16x5 inch rims ??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

more LT tire choices in 16" than 15" these days, especially all terrain and heavy load rated.

some feel the aspect ratio of 16" wheels/tires look better on full size trucks of this era.

might find some 'show me your 16" wheels, tires, etc.' threads here to see examples.

are you trying to embellish the appearance of your truck or keep it period correct?

is there an issue with the current wheels on your truck prompting your query?

bottom line is personal preference, what criteria is most important to you?

good luck!
