Do you have 6 lug drums? If so, then that is a great start as 16" rims are most common with 6 lugs. If not, then a swap to 6 lug drums is likely the best solution.
With a diameter difference of only 1", that will only change this measurement by 1/2" over what you have now. So you are probably OK here, though you do need to check it to make sure. If you will not have the necessary clearance, then it can be obtained by a small lift. If the springs are over the axles, then a 1/2" lift block will work.
The other clearance issue is the space between the tires. You need 1" when level. So you will need 2" now in order for the new tires to work. You likely do have this much space. If not, then there is no easy way to solve this issue
Yes, currently have 15" x 6" Rim - 6 lug on 5-1/2.
I'll need to re-check but feel like I have at least 4 inches from the top of the 15 in tire to the inside of the wheel well. . I know I have more than two inches between tires. Where did you get your clearance info?
The clearance info is straight from the Dexter manual.
