Question reccomed tire size

Hey there, I have a 66 Stepside, and have swapped the front spindols and put drop 2-1/2" on front with 3" drop springs on the rear. Here is the question I have. The Truck will be a daily driver so I don't want the truck to low to the ground that it wouldn't make it over a speed bump but I still would like it to have a nice stance. I also purchased some 16x8 wheels for the front and back.

??? What would be a good tire size that is wide enough and tall enough, without being too tall and too wide???

Thanks for your help

Keith
