Hey guys i was looking at some pictures of tires and some people have the donut look where the tires are puffy and look like antarctic wheels made for mobbing up anything. How do they get that kind of look? do they just get a wheel slightly wider than the rim?
Since i have the stock 16X8 rims would i be able to fit a tire made for a 16X8.5 or 16X9 rim? thanks!!

There is one upside to using a rim narrower than the tire manufactures recommendation, that is to protect the rim from damage by having the sidewall & tread balloon out past the rim. that's it, it is all downsides from there.
if you run an 8" wheel with a 12.50 tire, you will wallow on the tires. it won't matter how much air you run. the truck will push the rim in the tire to the outside wall on every turn. you will adversely affect handling & if you have a tire failure it will not be covered by the manufacturer.
If your off road a lot it has advantages but on road & it'll just be for looks at the cost of performance.
