If you wanted wider you should have gone with a wider rim.

call your local tire store and they should be able to recomed something to suit you
call a couple differnt stores
they deal with this every day many many times
I drove around the town we live in till I found a truck that I thought looked cool and got out looked at the tire size and that was what I put on my truck
go threw the galleries on this web site and find a truck you like and find out the tire size there are thousands of trucks here for you to look at then ask that person thier tire size
