    I can tell you what will work if you tell me what tire size you want to run, and on how much lift.

    omf can set you up with walker evans. they clear the calipers in 16 inch and they meaning walker evans can custom make the wheel any way you like it off set and so on.

    i was very close to picking up a set this summer but, ultimately decided that the price was way to much. they are very nice wheels but, fuck for that kind of money i just couldn't do it.

    i am wanting to run a 265/75/16 with no lift, or as big as i can go with no lift, i will end up going with the king coilovers and some total caos uca but dont want it to be to much taller , probley go with shackel flip in the rear so like 1-1.5 lift in the front with the kings, always wanted a set of the walkers from day one and i know they are coin but worth it to me.

    can i clear 285's with no lift as i dont plan on doing the kings till summer and i need tires now, how much would i half to cut to clear them with no lift or is that even possable with out totaly cutting my truck up ?

    and if walker can make any ones i want what would be the ideal offset and suck then ?

    ok so just got off the phone with omf, great customer service, so ! walker does not come in a 16 only 17;s, not to big of a deal but was talking with the guy and he can basicly put a true bead loch on any rim for $250 or a street lock on any rim for $120 considering walkers are $390 i might go with a nother rim and just have them install a bead lock, like above i kinda like the factory toyota rim they did there phaze 6 ring on

    so back to basic if i wanted to run a 265/75/16 what would be the ideal off set for the rim, thanks

    zero offset on an 8" wide rim would give you the option of running a 265 now or a 285 when lifted.

    If it's a 9" wide rim you'll want -12 offset, and youll want to make sure that the 265 you select is approved for 9" wide rims.

    You can run a 265/75/16 on the stock wheels if you wanted, but if you plan to move up to a 285 then 4.5'' backspacing is recommended.
