6.50 x 16 tires are 29.7" in diameter. 195/75R16 tires are 27.5" in diameter. That is a 2.2" difference. A 225/75R16 tire is 29.3" in diameter and a 235/75R16 tire is 29.9" in diameter, so IMHO I believe those two would be the closest. The recommended wheel width for these tires is 6"-8". A 5" wheel is not that much narrower, and may not pose a problem.
