One member posted that he was running 165-50-R15 and it gave him an 11" tread width.

I run 255 70R15 BF Goodrich TA on 15x8 rallys.  Looks good, a tick taller that stock 235's and they fill the wheel wells up nicely without throwing the speedo off to much.

I've got an 85 K10 and Have the Rally Wheels (i believe, it's a silverado) it came with 31x10.50R15's from the factory, It's got 33x12.50R15's on it now. Can I go wider, How wide are the rally wheels?

Rally wheels are either 7" or 8" wide.  If yours came with the 31's it should have the 8" wheels, it is stamped on the rim.

I had 33's on my 87 2WD pickup and it only rubbed when you bumped the stops so it should fit well on a 4x4.  I see 33's on all 4x4 chevys all the time with 15x8 wheels.
