This isn't true with 7" wheels. 285/75s are perfect. I've only done it in 4wds,but I believe a friend had that combo on a '72 C/20. I think 265/75s would be a good size,or get into the 70 series. I've run 285/75s on the stick wheels of my '92 K3500 almost 20 years. The ones on there now look great and have been mounted since '08 with no center bulge wear issues
That P-metric chart is for car tires...30-45 & 50 series? Those don't belong on a truck
