A popular size is 245s or 255s on 8s in front (~5" bs) and and 275s or 295s on 10s (~5" bs) in the rear. Billet Specialties make a descent wheel. With a long bed, you could step up to 18s with some sidewall without it being overpowering.

Thank you very much,

now I know more or less what to order - but allow me one more question:

You all might know G-old`s truck....the golden one....I like his rims and especially the stance of his truck most....does anybody know the sizes of his rims / tires ....???

If not, I think I will order some wheels similar to that ones on the blue truck which was posted by boxrodz....

hmm, we`ll see,
