On this one I run 700x16 mud grips on the back and 600x16 on the front. The 700s are close to the outside diameter of the original 19s and doesn't slow top speed like a smaller diameter 16 inch tire WILL. On the front, 5.50s would steer better but this is what was given to me so, I decided to use them on my farm truck.

Dunlop Grandtrek 215/70R16 radials. I run them as tubeless. This size was originally used on the RAV4.

A what would the bolt pattern measurements be and off-set if that apply's. What size tires are guys running to get close to stock diam. Also can we run a low cost radial or should we use bias plys ?

Ford wheels from the 40's (and Merc) fit, 5x 5 1/2 is the bolt pattern I believe. Some later Ford p/up wheels also fit. Your choice either bias or radial, most run tubeless.
600x16, 650x16, radials a lot of fellows run P215-70R16's.
