New bumper pics

Nothing really. I only upgraded the bumper because the old one was damaged.
I like the look of the Cragar 8 chrome wheels for these trucks, that could be a possibility in the future. The stock St's are starting to get some surface rust in a few spots where they have been scratched. Maybe one day down the road, but no rush. Also, if I ever found the chrome rear bumper for these trucks cheap I might invest, but other then that, I don't really feel like the truck needs anything. There is a pretty reputable place here that does tint on extended cab trucks for $99. Thats quite a deal.
Maybe tint and the cragar chromes in the future.

These are the kind I had in mind. I like the truck look they have, classic and not too fancy.
Does anyone know the factory lug bolt pattern, back spacing, and all the dimensions I need to order these wheels to most closely match my factory wheels? I have the 16x7 steel wheels. I'd like to stick with 16".
Whats the factory offset, lug pattern, etc?

We have bolt pattern of 5 x 5.5, stock offset is 25.4 (you can pull off a wheel and it will be printed on the back of the stock wheel). Backspace is about 5 inches, I think. I have 5.7 inches backspacing on a 9" wide wheel. Just keep the offset close to what you have.
Those Cragars look pretty good, and a good price too.
EDIT:
Just looked at those wheels, they are an offset of 0, which means they will stick out 1 inch farther than stockers. You need a positive offset, 12 would be 1/2 inch farther out, try to find something close to what you have. A lot of wheels come with an 18 offset, which should be okay.

That's a good question. I really don't know our center bore size. You cannot get that smaller than the stock center bore. They have hub centric adapters (rings) to accommodate a larger center bore, but smaller is NO good. Hopefully someone with aftermarket wheels can answer that question.
