What kind of rims?
I am looking into buying some new rims and get rid of the stock rims. I am running 31s on a 10.5x15 rim. Truck is stock height but plan to lift the front or get a 2" lift later.
I was looking on SummitRacing and saw a few that interest me.
But I really am looking to buy the rims but do payments on them BUT I don't know who will do them. I would need 5 rims.
Any ideas what will look good? I was thinking about going wider some BUT not to wide (thinking of MPGs a little bit)..just wide enough to stick out some.

You won't necessarily need to go wider with the wheels themselves to get them further outboard. You should look at shallower backspacing. Your stock wheels have about a 4.5" backspacing. Reducing that to 3 to 3.5" will push the wheels outward without having to without having to change tire section width. Be careful though because in pushing the wheels out from under the truck also makes them swing wider when you turn. So, wheels/tires that didn't rub the bumper, fender, or radius arms with the OEM backspacing may well start rubbing once pushed further outboard. Just take the time to get accurate measurements before making a purchase.

Also to add to what Greystreak said, check with local laws too. If a tire sticks out too much you may be required to run fender flares.
Heres a decent place to buy rims and they offer financing.
