I just dont know what tire fits and where to get them
If I'm understanding your question I can only say with certainty is a 16" tire (really, I'm not trying to be a smart ass here). Height/ratio will depend on your drivetrain & gearing, lift, how you intend to use the truck etc..

My tires are usually 2" wider than the rim.
This provdes some protection to rim, and minimizes sidwall exposure to rock cuts.
So. . . a 285/75R16 in KM3 or K02 would be 11" wide & 32ish" diameter.

In the metric ie: 285/75-16 the first number is tread width in mm. The second is an aspect ration of tire height to width. 75% in this case, so roughly 214mm above the wheel and 214 below the wheel when mounted plus the 16" diameter of the wheel. Roughly 32.5" diameter. Bigger first number is wider, bigger second number is taller and third number has to match your wheel.
