Question Wanting to go with a wider look

Another mega cab parked next to me today and i was looking, and mine looked so skinny next to the other one, and now i hate the look of mine :-/ an i was wondering what i would have to do to get that look. I just bought 285/70/17 BFG A/T's and i still have the stock rims. can i just buy new rims with maybe a bigger back spacing to get the "wider" look?... or what?

you either need new rims with more aggressive back spacing or you can get Wheel Spacers. there is alot of discussions about wheel spacers on here if you search for them.

285s are still narrow to me. Ive got 325s on mine but like was said above, backspacing and wheel spacers also contribute.
