Welcome. You can keep the same tire size. I just bought 4 BFG All-Terrain tires in 235/85R16. They are the least costly, probably saves the most on gas, and were the original size. I might change up when the truck looks better. Good luck with your Crew.

Welcome Spacelong and you will not find a better resource for restoring your crew than the guys on this forum (not including me unless you want to know how to do it the hard way).
