16" wheel tire size advice please

Good day,

I ordered some 16x6 trailer wheels (original look) for my 59 chevy apache short box.. not the one in the pic.

i do plan on lowering it as much as I can with springs soon enough.

Currently, I am trying to decide what size tire I should get. I am going with 225, but cant decide between 65 or 70. If i go 225 65 16, Im at about the same overall diameter (approx 27.5in) as the original size that came on these trucks. There was an original upgrade to a larger tire, that would be about the same as the 225 70 16 and about 28.4 inch diameter overall.

I am leaning towards the 65s but dont want it to look funny on a truck. Does anyone have any insight/advice/pics to show me so that I can compare and to help me with this decision?

Thanks for your time.
