I just picked up some 225/75-15 trailer tires and 15x6 wheels today. The tires are Carlisle brand and they're load range D rated. I stuck with the stock size tires and wheels for now because of the condition of my axles. The comprable 16" setups were about an inch taller and wider then the 15" setups. Maybe after I adress the axles I'll upgrade to 16", but these will work just fine for now.

The wheels are rated for 2560 lbs, which should be ok considering how much lighter my AS is compared to stock. The wheels meet all the other oem specs so I should be good to go.

I'm going to paint the wheels silver (they're black now) and mount them up as soon as I get the AS out from under the house where it's currently sitting. Long story there...
