Well...I know for a fact that 265/75 fits on a 16x7. Thats a tad bit smaller then a 32" tire. I think if you get any larger, say 285/75, you need a 16x8. I could be wrong though.
My 06 went from a stock 245/70 to my current 265/75 and they looked alot bigger, but if you want monsterous, you really need to get 285/75+

Yea I'm getting 285/75R16 and 16x8 rims. On stock rims which are either 15x7 or 16x7 and if you want 32"...well techinically 31.6" tires, get the 265/75R15or16. Yea I did all this research for about a week now. 285/75 are 33.1" tires.

Ziggy you definately have to fit 285/75s in there. If your going to spend $400+ on the tires, you might as well order some 16x8 wheels off of summit racing. You can get the black gloss Kragars for like $30 each, so you can get 4 of those cheap and fit those tires on there. Then the truck will look even bigger.

30 bucks each? more like 54 bucks each plus shipping. You need the rims with +12.00 offset and 5" backspace.

I lifted my truck today. Did the same thing Ziggy did. Went pretty smooth. I did about a 1" in the front with the 2" blocks in the back. Looks great. Didn’t think 2" would make such a dramatic difference. I’ll get some pics up as soon as I can. Thanks for the inspiration, Ziggy!

I decided to ditch it. I don't think it's worth it.
