Hey Guys thanks for all your replies to other posts after thinking it threw Im going to go with a 305/70/16 tire and for go the lift for now since my truck is still actively a work truck. My question is this I'm going to put new wheels on also should i go with a 16x10 or 16x8 leaning towards the ten since it seems like a waste to just go with a wheel thas only an inch wider then the factory one. I like the wide footprint but also dont want it to stick out of the wheelwell more than an 1 1/2 inches or so. Any advice would be great. Thanks

 

definitely go 10". i have 315's on 16x10's with 4.5" backspacing, and they only stick out about 1.5"

 

it's all personal preference. I have always run 16x8 rims with no problems. I have a little extra protection for the bead, and still get great wear out of the tires. Manafacturers say my 315/75/16's are rated for 8.5-10" wide rims, but I've gotten 45,000 out of a couple sets of BFG's. 10's will stick out a bit more obviously.....but won't be obnoxious, but if you go mudding at all....when you turn, they will fling it ALL OVER your truck FYI

 

Thanks fo the help guys. Just ordered Procomp 1079's in 16x10 and toyo open country At's 305 70 16 hoping i won't regret not going with 35's guess i'll have to wait and see. Thanks again
