    So if this is a dumb question just let me know but will a 255/70/16 tire on a wheel with a +1 offset fit? Also, what offset do you have to go to before the tire starts to stick out?

    I know that 265/75-16's will clear on the stock 16-7.5/+30 wheels, but come pretty close to rubbing when at full steering lock. If you reduce the offset to zero, you'd need to drop the tire to a 265/70 to prevent them from rubbing at full lock.

    I've been sweating measurements and wheel/tire choices for a couple of weeks, looking for a wheel with a bit less offset to put the tires about an inch further out. a +10 offset on an 8" wheel puts the tire's tread corner just even with the outside of the flares, on my 2011, but a zero offset isn't bad, either, it sets the tire out 1.6" further than stock, just barely past the flares but not enough to look stupid.

    Look up pictures of trucks with the Ivan Stewart wheels, they are 16x8 with +01 offset (basically zero), and see what you think.

    The problem I'm finding with aftermarket wheels is the choices are pretty limited in 16x8 with low offset that don't have some interference with the front brake rotors on a 2nd gen truck. Choices open up if you go to a 17" wheel, but then you have to drop to a 265/65-17 tire to keep the same height/width as a 265/70-16. The wheel prices also take a jump from 16" to 17", by $50-60/wheel. This is all at stock suspension height for a 2nd gen SR5 4x4; you might have a tad more room with a TRD model, that sits a little higher. If you have an aftermarket lift, I suppose anything goes as to tire size, but the offset issue will be the same.
