Default I need tire and rim help.

I know I want toput big tires on my truck. It's a given, and looks 10x better with the 4 inch lift. Buuttttt I don't know what to do. I found some rims I like that are 16x8 or 16x10. If I can I want the cheaper ones well because they are cheaper at $179 but can I fit a 35 inch tire on 16x8 rim? If so can you point me to them? Thanks

do you have a certian tread style in mind?( mud or all terrain) and are you brand loyal meaning does it matter what brand the tires are?

I would go with a 10" wide wheel if you're looking at a 35" tall tire. An 8" wide wheel can make the tire bulge to much and wear in the center.

Probably all terrain. I need this as a driving truck for to and from school and store thing as well. And brand doesn't matter. Whatever works.

You can look at the Toyo Open Country AT2 and the Cooper Discoverer AT3 as a couple of options that will give you long tread life and a good ride on the street. May be look for a 315/75R16 since they are roughly 34.6" tall.
