It currently has the stock tires/rims 8.75 R16.5's.

That is one clean looking Burb CentralCoastChevy! They don't come that clean on the East Coast where I am. I recently bought the 1971 K20 above and it is funny how each person's tastes differ. You are wanting to get away from stock and I am wanting to go back to it! I am envious of those gorgeous stock wheels/tires you have on there and want to get some for mine! I haven't had any luck finding steelies on the east coast though! I have seen people suggesting that 255 85r16 is the ideal "tall skinny" tire/wheel combo because it is 33" tall with a 10" width. Typically that is on 4wd vehicles though so I am not sure about clearance on a 2wd. Here is a post about those tires from another guy with a 71 -
