Wheel question

VikingZ · June 17, 2002

If you guys were gonna get new wheels and not lift the truck(other than tweak the T-bars), would they be 16x8 or 16x10? If the 10's will even work. These would be used with 285 tires.

TIA

285's fit perfectly on the 8" wide wheels.

10's wouldn't even fit on the truck without a lift kit.....

What would the off-set for the 8" rim need to be?

I'm running 4 5/8". Some rims are available in 4 3/4" and 5". 4 3/4" should work without issue. Some have said they had clearance issues with 5" backspacing wheels.

If you buy wheels, trial fit one on the truck BEFORE you mount tires on them. You mount 'em, you bought 'em.....

16.5 WILL fit on 2500 HD's. I have seen about 3 HD's so far that have 33x12.50x16.5 tires and 16.5x9.75 or 16.5x10 wheels. It looks SWEET! I don't know the backspacing but I know they stick out.
