So I should be buying a new set of wheels this weekend from the classifieds. Just trying to figure out what size tires I'll eventually be buying for them. Wheels are 16x12 -52 offset.

Trying to figure out if 315/75s will fit with a front leveling kit and how bad it will rub or if I should just stick with a 305/70 until I get everything set the way I want it. Truck is an 02 4x4.

Dont waste your time on 16s. The support for tires other than stock sizes is getting worse and worse. Some sizes that are marked as end of run.

Unless you have a source of cheap, plentiful 16s, forget it. I also hate how snow gets jammed in between yhe brake caliper and wheel.

I'm getting the this weekend. Thanks for that though. There aren't too many options currently for wide 16s, but eventually when I can't find them anymore, they'll make nice decoration for the garage wall, or an end table or coffee table. For now there's still enough choices of tires that I can find what I want to run on them. Not sure if I'd run them all year or not. Probably not. Id like to keep them looking nice so the cinders and rock salt that might get them in the winter doesn't appeal to me very much.

Sperman, are you buying Zach's Welds? I would run a 305/70 if I were you. It looks good on that size wheel on a leveled leaf spring truck... I loved my 305/70s on 16x10 MT's back in the day.

Nope. He sold them last night to someone local. Sucks. I wanted them. He told me Sunday and then I jumped on here last night and had a message from him that he sold them.

All these pictures, and no excursions.
Mine is 03, with 2 inch spring hangers, and u codes up front, back is b codes with a two inch block. I want to go with 18x9 or 10 rim. I'm looking at something like an ultra 225, or motometal 971. Tires will probably be Hankook 305/65 or so, anybody have any pics? About 95% street, it's a grocery getter, lol.
Currently have big 285/75/16, and they are done!
sorry about the sideways picture.

Well I just ordered a 4" BDS with fox shocks and 20x9 0mm offset Gear alloy big blocks with 35x12.50x20 Toyo AT2's. Looking at pics now has me concerned the wheels aren't going to stick out enough. I had 20x9 0 offsets on my 6.4 and they looked perfect to me so I hope these will too. Here is a pic of my old 6.4

A couple of pics with the polished 20x8s, 2" spacers and 295 60 Procomp MT2. This tire is just over 34" and is about as tight as you can get with stock height. At full lock to left, there is a slight contact with inner liner at bottom. May try to pull it back further.

I've got an 03 f350 4x4 and I'm looking at either doing some 18x10 or 20x10 (both fuel wheels I like have -12 offset) wrapped in 33x12.50. I'll be putting a 2.5in leveling kit up front. I don't mind a little sticking out but I want to keep trimming to a minimum. From what I have read on this thread I should be able to do either of these wheel and tire combos without rubbing. Am I correct in assuming that? Also I wouldn't be able to do a 35 without issues correct? I don't care for the stuffed wheel well look.

I think instead of the leveling kit I'm going to run a zone offroad 4" lift, 35x12.50 R20 Toyo AT II along with 20x9 Helo 878 in satin black part # he87829087712n. It has the -12 offset, not sure on back spacing. Anyone see any problems with this set up? I'm hoping to have it ordered very soon. I'd like to install everything by the end of the month before I drive the truck from Idaho back here to Nola.
