I'm not sure it seems most tires on these trucks are 265 /285 75 r16 as long as the tire doesent rub the inter wheel well. Not sure right out of the gate stock, it seems like the tires were a little lower

Like Scott said, 05+ had the bigger brakes and used 17", 18", or 20" wheels and they were all 8" wide with an 8x170 bolt pattern. Offset varies from 38 to 44 depending on what wheel it was. Your truck with a leveling kit could probably pull off a less aggressive setup than mine but when you have a lifted truck with stock offset and backspacing it makes the wheels look really sunk into the wheel wells. Also, the factory 8" wide wheel will limit how wide of a tire you can run. My 4.5" Rough Country lift suggested a 17x8 wheel with 0 offset and 4" of backspacing with a 35x12.5x17 tire. I just opted for a little more poke and a bigger wheel.

Is there such an animal as Safe and cheep?
I bet not. Cody I like your wheels but will have to
stop in the local dealer and see what they have.
Side note looks like I need a new degas cap
I am seeing a little bit of white dribble and the cap
leaks on the tester at about 5 PSI.
