biggest tires on stock rims?

What is the biggest tire anyone has fit on the stock rims? I am looking to go to the BFG All Terrains.

I currently have 315/75/16 (35x12.50) on stock 16x7.5 mags. The tires I currently have are D-load range and have a tread pattern very simular to the BFGoodrich Mud Terrains. Running 32psi in all fours they work just fine.

I current put on 265/75/16 but I only have 6" rims,my buddy put on B/F 285/75/16 with 6" rims.Mine rides good,not to much roll.Some shop's don't like putting to big of tires on 6" rims 'cause tire may roll off of bead.

I was wondering what was the width of the stock steel rims for a W250 in 1991? Mine has BFG AT 285s LRange "D" and they look to be a tad on the large size for those rims. I'm running them at 55/45 psi f/r. Probably going to see them wearing more in the middle at some point would be my guess. Think I need to get some wider rims next time around.

I tried getting wider "stock" rims from a 2nd or 3nd gen. dodge from auto wreakers but I guess the front will rub due to different backspacing.
I think some newer 3/4 ton ford or chevy rims will fit...I can't remember the years,but what am I thinking...
