I believe the 2500 rims are 8" wide, while the stock half tons are 7" (besides the off road ones, which are 8").

Either way, you can fit a 12.5" wide tire on them, they will just be somewhat "ballooned out". I have 12" wide tires on my stock 8" wide wheels... works just fine.

Get the steelies. They will probably be cheaper brand new than a used set of stockers.

i think the steel 8 lugs were 7" wide, and the aluminums were 8".
