26x10x16 Gonna be close to the same size as a 255x60x16 if its even available.
I know the sizes arent off much on the 15" in comparison.

cant go much bigger for one the rim is not wide enough and the tire would not contact the ground right and 2 the back spacing on the rims is not enough for much more than a 255/50/16 but it will take a hammer to make thoes to fit

i'd definitely stick with 225/50/16 on the front and 245/50/16 on the back... you dont wanna go too much bigger sidewall than that or it looks goofy... and i hear youre not gonna get any more tread contact from a 255 to a 245.
