and one last one for ya teach the rims that bullet likes would those specs be closer to stock than the one im lookin at cause if so im steallin them from bullet lol
Because we have a lot of good stuff to talk about .

Those specs are closer to stock but they are also narrower than stock. Personally, I don't like to go below a 9" rim for a 12.5 inch tire (that's what you have, right?). Any narrower than 9 and I feel like they look like they are bulging off the rim. With that said, I have run 12.5 wide tires on 8 rims before without issue, but wasn't crazy about the "bulgy" look.

Compared to the stock rim, if you get the rims you showed me and add a 2" spacer, you will stick out about 1" further than you do now with the stock rims and no spacer.
