I can only tell you what mine is so here is the wheel I have. Note that my tire is narrower (albeit slightly) than a traditional 35", which is usually 12.5".

Why are you going with a 16x10 wheel? 285/75r16 tire only needs a 8" rim so does a 315/75r16 tire. If you go 16x8 then your looking at around a 4.5 inch backspace, that would put the tire just outside the fender.

I'm going with a 16x10 wheel because I want to go with a 33x12.50 tire.
So do you know what I would need for a 16x10 wheel?

Hi CharlieSheenWins, I know this is post is a few weeks old but I finished installing a 3" top gun customz kit like yours with blocks and spacers. My question is did you have to change anything besides the shocks? I seem to have a little rougher ride than I did before. Thanks.

The spring rate is just probally different. Most lifts will make it ride a little stiffer.

He didn't change springs, just added a spacer.
