Default Rim Issue

hi everyone

Since the lug pattern for dakotas is so unique with the 6x4.5 lug pattern it seems all I can find are 8 inch wide rims. fml. I had wheel spacers on them which allowed me to run a 6x5.5 lug but since putting new rims on it I went back to the original pattern. Whats the safest widest tire that i would be able to run?

I've got 265's on factory rim, and I think a few guys on here have 285s & 305's on stock...although they may be on soft 8's, I forget.

Well, as wide as you can. I have american racings that are 9 or 9.5 I think? I really forget...I guess it depends on your truck style and rim and tire choice.
