New Wheels

I'm looking to upgrade my rim and tire size. I am wondering what size aftermarket wheels I can put on my truck. Any comment would be great.

Check out my gallery. Those are 16" Micky Thompson "sloted" mags with LT285/75R16 tires, which are 33" tall. I don't think a larger diameter tire will work without cutting the fender.

I bought those wheels new about a year ago. I suppose you can get them anywhere they sell Micky Thompsons. I like them them because they look right for a 60's vehicle. I had to order them when I got them and it seemed like it took about 3 months to get them.
