Re: picked out the wheels for the truck..but need help
damn those are nice, but you'd be better off with some torque thrust style wheels, they're similar and cheaper. there's many like that.

Re: picked out the wheels for the truck..but need help
rear tire with a 10" rim should be around 285 35 20 maybe a 285 30 20. front tire with a 8ish rim size would be around a 245 40 18 - 255 40 18. I would look at the specs on www.tirerack.com just type in the size choose a tire and look at the specs.

Re: picked out the wheels for the truck..but need help
Rears could prob be 20x9.5 or 10 (whatever they offer) w/a 295-40 or 45. The 295-45 would be closer to your height requirement.
The fronts could go 18x8 or 8.5 (again, whatever they offer) w/a 255-45, 50, or 60. I'm pretty sure I've seen the 255-50 & that would be closest to your height requirement. For front backspacing, I would go w/4.75 or 5". The 5" would be better for trying to keep the front track width even w/the rear. You'll need to trim the a-arm lip but that's pretty easy work. For the rear, I can't say 100% because I've never played around w/a step-side to know just how tight clearances are..... especially if you've dropped it. My best guess (somewhat educated guess @ that) would say 20x9.5's w/4.5" backspacing. IIRC, the stepsides don't offer as much wheel well room vs. fleets. You could always mini-tub it on the cheap w/a set of fleetside tubs bolted in & trimming the bed-floor. That opens your choices up & I would then say 20x10's w/5" bs. If you need help trying to measure all this out, I might be able to swing by @ some point in time.
