Default 2000 4x4 rims - help!

Hey, I'm looking to get new/used Rims for my truck. I want the biggest tires I can fit with 0 lift which is 30 or 31" I believe? With the stock 6x4.5" bolt pattern... What are my best options? 15,16, or 17" rims and what's the best width? 8, 8.5, 9 or 10? Or is it easier to change the hub to a different bolt pattern to open more options?

if you crank the tb's you can fit 285's. 265's are stock size. if you do off roading a smaller rims is recommended.

285x?? What? What do I need to crank the TBs? That would give me what like two inches? Then add a leaf in the back? I just want it to look a bit bigger, lift offroading. Any suggestions from summitracing preferable black rims

stock backspacing and 8" wide rim can fit 32's, with about a 1" tb crank, whatever that is in metric IDK but with wider back spacing or wider wheel it would most likely rub more

For wheels you might try Crager soft 8's.I got them and love them and they are less than $50 a piece.If you do get them I would not recommend the Crager center caps.Mine started rusting in 2 months and now they are covered in rust.I plan on buying new center caps and lug nuts soon.
