Re: 65 c10 longbed fleetside tires
I have the same tire under mine. I got some room on the inside to get maybe an inch more tire. Would need more back spacing to do it and then search the section width to pick a tire. The wheel and tire combo of width, tire size and tire section measurement will give you the answer on the max.

Re: 65 c10 longbed fleetside tires
I have 285x70x15 in the rear they fit but I would not recommend them. they are extreamly hard to find, very expensive and hard to change if you have a flat..
I have heard the 275x60x15 is better
