Whats up buddy. If ou could give me a few tips on what you want for your truck I could help ya out more.

Basically if you want a near stock look, got with a 8-9" wide wheel with a 6.5" or 5.5" backspacing. This combo would keep the tires tucked under the fenders maybe not as much as stock but as close as your gonna get with big tires and new wheels.

If you want them to stick out further, go with a 10" wide rim (or extreme12" wide) with a 4.5" backspacing. This 10" and 4.5" BS combo makes the tire about 4" further out the side of the truck than stock.

Not sure what look your after or what tires you wanna run. But this is the basics above. Good Luck to ya. I run an 06" myself with the 10"/4.5" combo.

I want them to stick out a little farther than stock so im thinking 4.5 backspacing with a 10 inch rim. Not to far but more than stock.
