15X6.5 Van Rally tire question.

I've been collecting parts for a 5 lug swap on my '69. I'm about to start working on swapping out the rear end this Fall/Winter. I scored a 5 lug 12 bolt rear from Todd68Chevy a while back and now I've scored some immaculate 15X6.5 Van Rallys. My truck currently has 6 lug steelies with 215/70/15s on the front and 225/75/15s on the rear.

Anyone know the widest tire you can put on the 6.5" wide wheel?

A 235/75-15 tire should work great with you 6.5 rims.

I've run the 215/70-15 on the front with a van rally on quite a few of my trucks.
