If your wheels are the 15x6 the largest wheels you can fit on the 6"wide
wheels are a 235/75r15. I looked this up in a tire fitment book at
Sam's Club. I had the 235/75r15 tires on my 15x6 rims, they came as an
upgrade on the truck. I have the BFG radial A/T' on my truck and really
like them. 92 4x4 club cab LE
