Cragar Soft 8's 16x8 5BS... I couldn't resist for $120 They cost about $60+S/h each on summit. Now I have to save for tires. Can you guys recommend me some tire sizes?. I have a 2"bl and soon 2" suspension lift.

with that backspacing, you'll want to stick to 31x10.50s

May I suggest General Grabber AT2s? 16 limits your A/T tire choices a bit, but not as much as the larger size rims!

Yea I wanted 15's but for this price they were hard to pass up. I was looking at the Generals or the BFG A/T's(generals seemed to have gotten better reviews and their cheaper). You think I'll have any issues with just a 2inch bl with the 31's. I prob will have to do some trimming.

They don't have 31's. In fact they dont make 31's for 16inch rims. None that I found on tirerack. Here are my choices.

16 85 LT235/85R16 120/116S
75 225/75R16 108S
LT245/75R16 120/116S
LT265/75R16 123/120Q
LT285/75R16 122/119Q

LT295/75R16 123/120Q
LT315/75R16 121Q
70 215/70R16 100T
235/70R16 106T
245/70R16 107T
255/70R16 111S
265/70R16 112T
LT305/70R16 118/115Q
65 215/65R16 98T
255/65R16 109T

Looking at the ones in bold as choices. I have a brush guard up front too.

I rub occasionally offroad, but I've also got a brush guard up front to help weigh the front end down. Also, 265/70/15s in the AT2 are actually 10.7' wide. The 31x10.50s are only 10.3 wide. You should be fine

The LT265/75/16 is a 31x10.50. Well...31.6x10.5, but close enough.
