Default Looking for new wheels

Hey guys looking for a new set of wheels most likely black and chrome. I want to wrap them in either mud or all terrain tires. I was wondering what sites you guys suggest to look around on or if you have specific wheels to suggest also size suggestions would be appreciated. I will most likely have a 2in lift on by the time i get the rims just so you know. Thanks

so the price of your A/T tires aren't too astronomical, I wouldn't go much bigger than a 16-17" rim. Less sidewall=more money.

Bolt pattern needs to be 5x4.75" or 5x120.65mm
Stock 4x4 backspacing is 6", try to stay as close to that as possible, a smaller number will cause the wheels to stick out a little more, guys who run 31's with 2 inches of lift and 4.5" of backspacing have to trim their fenders sometimes to avoid rubbing at full lock/articulation. The 4.5" stick out 1.5" more than stock.

Backspacing:

Oktain, your the king of the rim threads here lately! :icon_notworthy:

Alot of people like the soft 8's from crager, you can get em' at summitracing.com. I'm assume you have a 4wd. You can also use any wheels from 94 and newer camaro, trans am, firebird, or corvette. You can use older model year wheels but they will stick out of the wheel well about 1.5 inch or so.

Offcource tires are a very individual thing. Most love bfg's but tirerack.com gives a fair description and Manu reviews for their products.
