What tyre size is recommened to run on a 64 - 66 chevy c10 ?

Just like the title says, what is the recommend size to run without having any issue(s) on rubbing or turning ? Was looking for stock steelies ( still running drums but plan for disc upgrade later on ) but seems i ll be running 4x4 rallies from a blazer ( 6 lug wheel ) ....

If you want the same front and back, you can't go wrong with 235 75 15s. Readily available, look and ride great. Black wall, WW, or RWL are all easy to get.

WW 235s on my 65 (but on stock wheels, they would actually be better on your wider wheels).

My main issues are tyres hitting ( turning radius in the front )or rubbing ( clearance in the rear in the fender well/ tub ) .
