I ran 265 75 16 on zero offset (4" backspace) Alcoas on my 70 GMC c2500. It was stock in front with a 1 1/2" lowering shackle in the rear. That was a good look for that truck. But if you have 6" wide wheels, the 235 is probably a better choice. The 235 85 16 is the same height as the 265 75 16. If you have split rims, I wouldn't keep them...

With the 402 and 3.54 gear that was a good fit as well. You will like the taller tire especially if you have 4.57 in the truck.
