Thanks Tim - I noticed that as well when doing tire size research. What I think is swaying my decision will be the purchase of new radial tires. I was under the impression that a 215/85 R16 was around 30" in diameter and had a fairly narrow profile. Considering the narrowness of the stock wheel they may even be taller when installed. My hope was this tire would look good on these wheels and not cost $200+ per tire.

I know that there have been discussions over old stock wheels not being designed for modern tires but given my planned usage of the truck, I hope that not to be a factor.

Any tire size verification on mounted tires you or others may have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
