Question need help!

okay.. IF (hehe) i were to have a set of MT et streets (26x11.5x16) and i wanted a set of rims (16x8) what should i look for?

i tried to order some rims but the guy at american racing said that 16 inch rims wouldnt fit the truck (i said, it COMES with a 16" spare moron!). how can i make sure these aftermarket rims will fit? will ANY 16 inch rim fit the back of the truck?
here are some of the rims i am looking at right now.


offset 15.88
backspacing 5.125
size 16x8
bolt pattern 5x135


offset 12.7
backspacing 5
size 16x8
pattern 5x135


offset 12.7
backspacing 5
size 16x8
pattern 5x135


offset 15.88
backspacing 5.125
size 16x8
pattern 5x135

i know they aren't much to look at, but they are cheap!

has anyone researched this? i searched, but got nowhere.

I'm running the AM rims (BAJA) series 16x10's on the back and 16x8's on the front the backspacing was fine no problems! JL

In terms of looks, go with the first one. IMHO.
