    I was just throwing out some random size... the hole metric sizes only go so big before u have to buy huge wheels wich cost a lot more then that means the tires are even more... I don't want to put 18s on my truck just to get the size of tire I'd like.. I'd show u a pic but don't know how to put any on here yet

    You'll find more options for 'BIG" tires on 16" rims than 18". You're overthinking this. Figure out which overall diameter and width you want then figure out which size comes closest. This should help

    I'm not sure you have a valid point. Larger tires are usually the ones with the inch measurements.

    I'm sure if you tell us what size you want someone can help.

    You could check out 255/85 R16. I think they are around 10.5 wide.
