wheels for SD

Hey,

Some help on wheels? My son put 12.5x33s on 9.25x16.5 wheels and they look great but I don't want to go quite that big. Anyone know how a 305x16 woudl look/fit on an 8x16 wheel? Also, how do you convert that 12.5x33 into a standard size? Is it a 305, 315, or what?

Thanks,
R0cky

I wouldnt recommend going bigger than a 295 unless you are lifting the truck

I'm running 305/70's on 16x8" wheels - I went with the narrower wheel so they wouldn't stick out so far. It doesn't let the tires look quite as wide as a 16x10" wheel would, but they are tucked nicely into the fenderwells so I don't need flares. Check out my gallery for some pics of how they fit and look!!

As far as sizes go - a 305/70 is comperable to a 33x12.5 and a 315/75 is basically a 35x12.5 - hope that helps.
