Tire size suggestions

I picked up a set of 16" Crager rims for my '64 f100 and I am now trying to figure out what size tires to put on. I have lowered the front end by 3" and the rear is stock height. Other than the front end, the truck is stock.

Any suggestions, with pics if available, would be great. I am thinking a little wider in rear would look good. Thanks in advance.

What size 16" wheels did you buy? That will dictate the tire size.
