Yup, they are LT-265/75/R16. I don't mind the rims a much as how tall and wide the tires are. If they were 245's or 235's they would probably look fine.

I don't plan on getting new tires and rims till after I get it running and driving anyway. I like to be original, so I'll probably try and find a set of original rims and center caps.

First things I have to worry about are rebuilding the starter and master cylinder to get her back on the road. That's all assuming it fires up and runs without any engine issues... I haven't had the engine running yet.
