Default What size wheels?

What size(in particular width) are the stock Denali wheels. I know they are 17" but are they 7.5 or 8" wide. Basically trying to see if a 285 tire will fit on there. I'm running 275's right now, but next time I buy tires, I'm wanting 285's.

Also, where is the best place to buy lightweight rims for a set of Drag Radial's. Not real sure what size I'm looking at just yet, but the wheel would most likely need to be wider than 8". Nothin too expensive, just effective.

The denali wheels are 7.5" wide. SierraC3(I believe it's his name) is running 285/60/17 Hankook's on his 02 Sierra w/ Denali wheels and so is Golden Velvet, he's running 285/60 Toyo's. I just ordered a set of Denali wheels and want to put 285s on it too.
