Need ideas for rims.
#1
I really should have wider rims for the LT285/75R16 tires I have but thinking about getting a new set of rims and tires to accomodate wider tires.
Lets hear some options for rim and tire combos in 9.5-10.5" width.
I would like to stay 16" or up to 18" MAX. Not really into the bling but like the Black center rims with the polished outer edge styles.
Maybe even some stockers from current year trucks but don't care too much for the 17" rims from "03"-"05" too plain IMO.
I like the stock sleeper look of my truck so keep that in mind too.
Is there any need to change back spacing when going wider, and if so by how much to keep tire rubbing issues away. What offset is stock?
Any opinions are appreciated.
Thanks guys.

Don't know the backspacing/offset of the stockers, but just for reference, my 20x8s have 5" backspacing. If you go 9" wide you will need 6" backspacing, if you go 10" you will need 7", etc. Mine are right on the edge of tucking and being flush. If you want them to tuck in a little more, just get .25"-.5" more and you will be fine.
I will keep an eye out for some wheels that meet your criteria.

I dont think mine are too bling. Gets just enough attention for people to say they look nice but no so much that they want to steal them. They are Ion wheels, 18x10 with 275/60 and 0 offset(which i believe is 5.5inch backspacing). Had to tie the plastic part of the fenderwells in the front(with zip ties) back about 1/2 inch to keep from rubbing when suspension is compressed. Im not a big fan of 20's but i wanted a 10in rim so i went with 18's.

I guess on Falken's site I should have 7.5"-9" wide rims.
I'd really like to have 9"s if I can find some.
LT285/75R16 122/119Q 2826-4611 8.0 7.5 - 9.0 33.1 10.7
