So I got a lot of help about rims from you guys, so now I’m wondering what tires would give the factory look, but with raised white letters. I tried a tire with245 70r 16 measurements, But it looks too small. Thanks!

Factory tires for my K20 with a 16x6.5" rim were 235/85R16 pizza cutters. I believe they were about 31". I'd have to look at what I did on the suburban, but I think it was 245/75R16, but with a wider rim. It yielded a wider tire, but about the same diameter.

If you have a lift you could go larger, but those were the stock sizes that would fit on a factory truck.
