I have radials on stock 4"X16" rims on my stock '54. They work very well, 8,000 miles and 4 years on them.
215/85R16 makes them 30" tall. These are truck tires, and they lo like truck tires. Am running Patricks 355:1 left lane special ring and pinion now, and I still like them. they steer the stock front end very nicely at speeds and around town.
No sway bars, just radials and decent gas shocks.
