largest tire I can put on a 16 x 6 rim and still fit my truck?
Since I have decided ( thanks again to mr48chev ) that the limited options for WW tires make them not worth it for me , my question now is:
What are the largest set of BW tires can I stuff under my 55.1 AD 1/2 ton on 16" x 6" rims? I'll be wearing "Wheel Smith's Smoothies" and want a cool of look as I can achieve! 215/70/R16 is what I am currently looking at. Of course quite, long mileage, great handling is all important! All thoughts welcomed and very much appreciated

I'd play with the tire size comparison chart a bit.
I think I posted it before but here it is again and it lets you compare sizes and see widths and diameters. https://tiresize.com/comparison/ The stock 600-16 tire for that truck runs 28.30 in diameter. A 225-70-16 is 28.40 in diameter. That is as wide a tire as you would want on a 6 inch rim. If the trans and rear end are original to the truck that would keep the speedometer pretty close to right.
