O-k so I got some new wheels for my truck...went from the stock 6-1/2 wide wheel to 8 in width...there shouldn't be no difference in the truck height...my tires are 265/r75 16's.

First I assume you meant LT265/75R16 size tires.
There is a P265/75R16 but that would be a 35 psi tire and have it's load de-rated by dividing by 1.1 and I do not find a European metric 265/75R16C listed in Industry Standards book.
Second I do not find a 6-1/2 rim width as an approved size for a LT265/75R16 size tire, so have to wonder who applied this tire on an un-approved rim width.
Third You also failed to mention the Load range so statements on load capacity or inflation levels are all guesses.
LT265/75R16 size comes in LR-C 50 psi, LR-D 65 psi & LR-E 80 psi
