For wheels you should go with either 16x8's or 16x10's. Also with 6.5" lift i'd step up to 35's

I thought about going to a 16x8. I may still, havent got that far yet. And I don't know if the stock gears would turn 35's? But if they would I might get them after I need new tires.

With a 285 you should be running a 8" wide wheel. And if your ever thinking about going bigger your def gonna regret getting only a 7" wide. A 16x7 is stock size so why waste money on basically the same wheels as you have. just my .02

Yes I understand what your saying and the widest wheel they make in the style I like is a 16x8. With out moving up to a 17, then its only a 17x9 so I will prolly just get the 16X8's.

Wet Clay = Amazing!
Sand = Great
Mud = Good pulling
Highway = Almost no roar
Over all... Their a good tire.

I just find justice in paying $250+ for new lights bro. I love the idea. But for some black lights their super expensive.
