wheels and tires.
Well guys I madea bone head move. I bought 16.5 inch rims without realizing how obsolete they are. I can't find any tires besides military ones, which I hear don't perform in the snow.
So if I can't find replacement rubber, what's a good place to look for different wheels?
Truck is an 03 F250 with about 3 inches of lift. (Leveled essentially) Tires I have now are 35x12.5 and I don't want to go smaller again to avoid the missed leg day look.
Your thoughts?

I bought my F150 wheels from the ebay store they have, at the time they were the cheapest I found..

Bfgoodrich still has the 35x12.5r16.5's on their site but I don't know if you can still get them. Interco (super swamper) was still making 16.5 tires but it seems even they are trying to get rid of them. Can't say I blame them not much demand.

Funny I sent that before i meant to. Anyway you can find the tires all over but it might be cheaper to buy a new truck than a set of 16.5s.

Well, while I still look around for replacement BFG tires (someone selling them)
I'm going to start looking at wheel/tire combos. I'm not a guy who gets hard over wheels, but can appreciate a spiffy set of spinners...17, 18, or 20 inch wheels for 35 tires? Anyone have pictures of their rigs?

I'd also like to learn more about offset.
I really want to avoid rubbing the springs since I use the truck in tight spaces.
I have nothing to actually back this claim up, but when I bought my current wheels, the guy said it had a 25mm offset, they stick out a couple inches from the fender and I think give it a sexy look, however I do need flares and on full lock the tires will bump the inner fenders if the truck is flexing at all. Does this sound right?
I'd like to find that happy medium where I can just about eliminate rub.
