Yet another tire rim question..

I picked up a set of 16x6 steel rims today and wanted to ask everyones opinion on best tire size for the narrow rim. I am looking for a clean combination of tall and thick (not wide). I am mixed on the look of tall and narrow on a 4x4 suburban, I'd like to fill out the wheel wells a little bit without it looking silly.

I am thinking 255/85 16 or 33/10.5 16 unless you think its too wide for a 6" rim. Worst case scenario I can swap them out for a wider 6.5" rim.. or 285/75's?

The tires on it now are 33/12.5 15's (which I dislike) and I have a set of Courser bias ply 7.50 16's (might be too narrow)

I think I would like the narrow 7.5's on a stock truck but this thing is a bit of a beast and lends itself to a more aggressive tire.

The rocker sits at 24" and the top of the fender opening is at 40" for comparison.

thanks for your opinions..
