What was the original tire size on this truck and what radial size will best suit it. It doesn't have to be wide, but i'd like the tire to fit better in the wheel well. Thanks | | |

You bhould get 15x8 wheels to use that size for the best perfomence. 32/11.50/15 will fit also, but they are a little tight. If you go to a 16" rim i'd suggest 245-75R16 or 255-70R16, they are the most common sizes in truck tires.
