Anyone have a 67-72 K20 without a lift?

Just bought a 72 K20, bone stock. It needs new tires, and came with 265/75/16s on it. They don't seem to fill out the wheel wells that great, and I want something that looks a little more stout. What do you all have?, and any pics would be great.

Well, I have 7.00's on 17 inch split rims, and they fill out the wheelwells.

They are 32-33 inch range. I think 285/75/16's would fill the wheel wells out, or 33x12.50s with the right spacing. Here's a pic of my beast:

235/85s are as close to the 7.50x16s that came with these trucks.The 265/75s are close to the 8.25x16.5s.255/85s should fit and are a notch oversized like good ol' 9.00x16s.
