I did the same with my 51 L112 with stock rims for the same amount of time, the radials were narrow profile but I forget now the exact size. It all worked well.

I have a set of 7.50 x 16s on my L right now but for years I ran radials on it, I believe I ran 215/85/16s on it and they were pretty close in size.
