Hey guys I want to run the stock 16" wheels and need to know what is the modern equivalent of a 6.50 x 16 tire? I want to run a radial whitewall with hubcaps, but I'd like them to be a bit wider than the stock tires were. I'm not going to be "performance driving" my suburban, but it will have a modern LS & 4L60E driveline under it. For braking safety, I'd like to have a wider contact patch for emergencies where I might need to slam on the new power brakes (discs and drums).
I'd love to run a 205 or 215 75R16 if it will fit. I want a soft ride, but not a lot of body roll. Passenger tires typically allow for more body roll than a truck tire. Does such an animal exist that will fit a stock 16" wheel? I think a factory 16" is only 4.5" wide.
