So I have an Issue!

I hav a set of brand new 355/65/18 toyo open country A/T's sitting in my garage.... i need to get a set of rims for them and i am getting mixed ideas.... how wide should i go... toyo recommends 10-11" wide rims where other people are telling me to go to the 12" wide rim.... can i see some pictures of 10" wide rims on these tires or similar and also some ideas.... i need to start shopping and want to get something i can use....!

Personally, I would go with what the tire manufacturer suggests.

Do you want them to stick out or be flush with the body?

10" wide will be good... I've got my 315's on 8". The 50mm difference in tread width is 2".

Just make sure you get a 4.5" backspace.

I'd agree on the 10" wheel. I run 35x12.5-18s on the factory 18x8 wheels on my F-350, ZERO issues in 20k miles. When the wife's Ex needs new rubber, I'll do basically the same thing, running the maximum width/height tire that will fit a 16" Limited/Lariat wheel.
