Default 16x8 on 96 dakota slt 4x2 tire size

hi everyone,
I have a 1996 Dakota SLT 4x2. The height is stock. However, i might lowered it but chances are I'll keep it stock.

I just pickup a set of wheels from the 98 dakota. They are 16x8. I was wondering what tire size i should buy? 225/65/16? But most of those tires are 94 load rating. Its hard to find something 100 or more. I looking for quiet tires mostly. If you have recommendations please let me know I don't offroad, but on occasion do carry heavy stuff or rent the uhaul dolly for moving furniture.


thanks,
Sean

Well it depends if you want the overall tire diameter larger than what you got or smaller.

i would like it to be smaller just to make sure that it doesn't rub at all.
