the thinner the tires sidewalls the worse the ride.....
i dont remember what tire size is correct for 16s tho. but that size sounds about right.... it wont be as smooth of a ride from your original 13-15s depending on what stock wheels ya got.
those truck tires must be thin as hell.... lol no wonder they ride to ruff!
IMO 20s are the largest i would go on my fullsize truck. only way i would go larger is if i got some massive swaper tires on a lifted truck ;)
theres two things that killl your ride quality.... lowering and larger rims.

what width are the wheels you currently have? that determines tire size as well.

The tire size sounds about right for a 16x7 (I really don't feel like checking right now lol), and the offset is perfect (you need at least a +38mm offset to avoid rubbing, so a +42 will work great).
If I'm correct, dx's came stock with 13" steelies... that being the case, your ride quality isn't going to be near as good as it is with the stock wheels, but it should still be liveable.
(welcome to the forum, btw)

personally, I would go with a little smaller sidewall. I like a 40 on 16s, though the ride will be a little rougher, on stock suspension it should be more than livable, and youll get much better handling with the smaller sidewall, as well as it not looking like big balloon tires.

but your speedo will actually be quite a bit off with the 50 series. the 40 series would get it within about 1%.
