tires size

i have a 2x4 89 mazda b-2200 5-speed manual with p225/75/R14 6-bolt pattern.

my dad have a 98 4-runner with a 6-bolt too.

just for kicks i put on his spare tire (p265/70/R16) on and it raised my truck about 3 in.

the back was ok, but the front was hitting the front wheel-well.

i'm about to get some 16 in. but i don't know size to get.

p.s i want to go with fat tires, not low profiles

the question is how bad is it hitting,and were is it hitting like is the tire to wide or tall if to tall then do a 265/65/16 to wide do a 255/70/16

I HAVE 16X7 CENTERLINE BILLETS & AM RUNNING 225/50-16'S IT HAS ENOUGH SIDE WALL ON THE TIRE IT FILLS UP THE WHEEL WELL, YET STILL
HAS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A LOW PROFILE TIRE FOR HANDLING PURPOSES, ARE YOU GOING TO LOWER THE TRUCK ANY OR KEEP IT @ FACTORY HEIGHT? IF YOU AREN'T LOWERING IT, YOU COULD GO WITH
A 225/60-16 ON A 7" WIDE RIM, AND SHOULD STILL BE OK.

why fat??

i think the man stated what he wanted so 50 series tire wont cut it for him if he wants mudding tires its gotta be 65 series and up

what size tire is on your dad's wheels?

thank you.

my dad's tire was 265/70/16.
i don't want to slam it.
i want to raise it up about 3 in.

i know that alot of people are going to get mad or tell me that i'm at the wrong web site.
but i don't want a low rider.

as to why?

one day after work i walked to my truck and there was 2 cars. first car was a small car maybe a GEO or something and it had 14 in. it look like i could take off my rims and wheel, and put it on his car. the 2nd car was a truck maybe a nissan frontier 4x4. man his truck was high. i think the tire alone was as hight as my truck bed. from there i know that i wanted to go up.
i'm not planning to go 4x4 but i just like the feeling that if there a dip in the road (i live in cal) i can just keep on going.

thank
