So I am planning on doing some major cash on my truck...and soon! Like tune-up (new wires, plugs and blah!). Also a lift so I decided hmmm...maybe new rims?

ANYWAY...before you all say do a search...I did but my question rims is picky!

So I want 16" rims...first should I go with 8" width or could I pull off 10" width rims? BTW 285/75R16.

Again 16" rims...black...backspacing...umm 4" I think...stock for us is 5" so 4" or less cause I want them to stick out! oh and finally...something that won't break my wallet!!!!!!

ideas? links?

 

With that size tire I'd go with 8"

 

woohoo! at least someone replied lol

 

Haha, I'm actually looking at running almost the same set up as you are. I have the same tires and size but want new black wheels. These are what I'm going for check them out. I'm getting 16"x8" and I was also wondering with the backspace because I also want them to stick out alittle bit.

 

I like the rim width at least as wide (or slightly wider) as the tire tread.
I have gone as much as 2 inches wider on the rim.
That made the truck very responsive to any steering wheel movement.

 

16x8 4" back spacing. I have a 4.03 on a 16x8 they stick out about 2".

 

I just remove those same rims from my ram two days ago (only without the fake beadlock ring....mine were 15x9's they were crager d's...they didnt really stick out at all btw with 5" backspacing and 12.50 wide tires.
Replaced them with 4 inch backspaced 10" wide aluminuim rims and they stick out a hair more but my 35" tires almost rub at full turn now.....
for some reason when they stick out it makes the tires seem bigger. Although too much makes them look goofy wears your wheel bearings faster and can get you a ticket.
oh yeah and those steel rims are heavy!

 

Good I like strong wheels But I figure a 16x8 inch wheel with a 4 inch backspacing should work well with my 33x11.50 bfg all terrians. I think they looked pretty damn good on your truck to.

 

Now don't leave me hanging like that...what are they? got a picture? and what they cost?



Oh and the talk about the black steel rims (cragars or unique) I originally looked into those but like said above with 5" backspacing they don't stick out at all...they are basically the same as stock, just wider.
