Default Buying new Rims

I want to get some black rims for my truck. Im looking at the black steelies..either the Cragar Soft 8's or the American Racing Procomps. Preferably the Soft 8's. My truck came stock with the 16' wheels and 265 tires, do i need to buy new 16's? or can i put 15's on it? Becuase 15's are cheaper so i would rather that. Also if i want my wheels to stick out is 4" backspacing to much? should i go 4.5"? I will also be getting new tires BFG a/t's either in 265 or 31x10.5 Sorry for all the newbie questions but I am clueless about this stuff its my first car. Thanks alot

I put 15" alloys on mine, but they're OEM just older year. You shouldn't have a problem though. And don't make the tires stick out. It's hard on wheel bearings and um, well. dingleberries and the virgin mary, you know?
