Tire Help: Looking for a wider tire and wheels

I've had my '85 C20 2WD for a while now and have had the same 265/70r16 Bridgestone Dueler A/T tires on 6.5 inch wide dog dish wheels. I've liked them, but now want something more street. I have the opportunity to buy some American Racing Outlaw II wheels in 16x9, but can't find the tires that I want.

Any suggestions?
Is the 9 inch too wide without cutting or rubbing?
What street tires would fit without being too tall?

I was thinking somewhere along the lines of 285/60r16 in the back and 285/50r16 in the front, but I can't find any tires in that size. Am I being unreasonable?

What do you guys run in a wide street tire?

Please help, I'm ready for a change. This is what my baby looks like now.
