Need Some wheel help
I was looking at the Tire Size chart but it only covers the 285/75/16 on a 16X8 rim
I am looking at these Rims
I am wondering since they are 16X8 will they fit with my 265/75/16 tires or do i need others. They have to correct bolt pattern, and since the auction says they fit my truck i am assuming factory back spacing but i will check. My factory rims also have 14mm Inset. I am not shure if that is the back spacing or not
That is all i know any help would be greatly appriciated

A 8'' rim for a 265/75R16 is techincally a bit wide, but they should work just fine.
BTW, the link doesn't work for ebay items.
Ebay #7949536976
I looked at the rims, they should work fine, but could be a real pain in the behind to keep balanced right.
I generally frown on the use of "sticky weights" as they often like to come off in cold weather, and are a real poor way to balance a tire, IMO. Most of the time they are used as a last resort by most reputable tire shops.
Personally I'd try to find a rim that can be balanced with weights on both sides of the tire (I realize that it takes away from the look, but I'd rather have balanced tires).

Thanx for the info on the ebay link.
I ended up passing on them cuz the warrenty covers the rims that were priveously damaged(Before I bought it). Any one else that is interested i found that the 1010 tire site calc is a good tool.(Tire Calc ) Gives you the info about a specific tire and what rim sizes would fit in width.
