Stock wheel vs aftermarket

Okay, i hav been searching on here for a little while and heres my question. I have been wanting to get a new set of aftermarket wheels because i bought the toytec bilstien lift, and when i put it on, id like to get a new set of wheels. So, heres my situation, i just bought some new bfg allterrain ko's (original design) about 13,000 miles ago, this was before i knew that i was going to lift the truck. Well i really dont want to drop almost a grand on another set of tires by upgrading to a 17" rim. So i have been looking at 16x8 wheels, well i noticed the backspacing on just about all of them are 4.5, but the offset is only 0mm or +1mm, unless i go to a 16x9, and if i do that i dont know if my tires will fit on them correctly, since they are recommended for a max 8" rim width.

So onto my question (just wanted to give a little insight to make my question clearer) i have the 16 factory aluminum trd wheels, and if i go with a 16x8 4.5 backspacing and 0mm offset, how much farther will those wheels stick out than my factory ones? I dont know what the factory offsets are, and ive asked several local people and have gotten a different answer everytime i have asked. If that size will not widen the stance any, then im just going to keep my factory wheels. I know when i lift it, the suspension will suck in a little bit, so i want to get a little wider wheel to compensate for that.

So there is my question, compared to the factory rim, how much will a 16x8 with 4.5 backspacing and 0mm offset push out for a wider stance?

I am just trying to not have to buy new tires when i buy my new rims. Thanks for the help TW!!!!!!

 

What size tires? I have 16x8 4.5 BS wheels on 285's and I have a similar stance to someone running stock wheels with 1.25" spacers - I used to have stock 16's on spacers and the stance / spacing is about the same

 

For now, i wanna move over my 265/75/16's until those wear out, then i will probably do a 285, unless the 265's look good.

What is your wheel and offset on it? Do you have a pic of it with the wheels and tires on it?

 

16 x 8, 4.5" BS, and 0 offset will give a little wider stance. It puts the tire just barely outside the edge of the splash guards. It's enough to clear any suspension rubbing within full range of travel without going to spacers. Just about right.

 

So will that be before the lift or after the lift? Sorry, just dont know a whole lot about lifting a truck, this will be the first one i have ever owned or lifted. Just want to make sure its right and doesnt look goofy.

Do you have a lift, or are you setting stock?

 

3" OME

 

I'd stick w/8" then. Stretched is not a good look, nor is it a good function.

Best thing to do is measure them yourself. Here's how. https://www.rsracing.com/TechWheel.aspx

Most sites like this recommend the tire being off the wheel, which allows the straightedge you'll use to work better. To avoid that, you can cut a straightedge the exact diameter of your wheel (measure twice, cut once). I use a piece of scrap aluminum bar.

Once you now the existing wheel, you can apply the forumulas to a prospective wheel's dimensions and figure out the fitment pretty closely.

 

Thats what i was thinking as well. I wanna make sure it dont look goofy but i also want it to look good ya know.
