I have used 145 s on a set of 5.5 rims no problems

You could go for a fatter tyre with a lower profile
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

I have seen conti 145s on 5.5s Chris, but was a bit of a strech. A higher profile 145 would be fine.

they're 155 sr 15 's by vredstein available from antique tyres in heidelberg for $125 each (i think)
been running them on the front if the black beast for about 3 years
not low profile but not chunky either
catch up with ya on the 14th
