I am very new to the world of the cucv. I have a 1985 M1008 only has 23k on it from what I can tell I have a bit of work a head of me to repair some hack work. but as for now I'm trying to find some info on what wheels I can put on it and what size tire will fit with out adding a lift kit. it currently has some nasty rusty 8.75 x 16.5 wheels and tires on it oh and they are bias ply. id really like to get rid of the 16.5 wheels hours of searching I can't really find any good answer. so any info would be greatly appreciated

Welcome! For sure ditch the 16.5 rims, they are not stock on CUCVs. Go back with 16s and mount up 245s and up.
