Linked from the LINKS pages or: https://www.gmheritagecenter.com/.I think you will find 15 in was standard. 16 was not atypical. 16.5 as well as BC mentions. Welcome back.

They were the same profile height as corresponding 15" tube type tires, and could be used interchangeably on dual-wheel rear ends with one 15 and one 16.5 without a height difference. 17.5's matched the height of 16" tube tires.
