After a long process and a bunch of mix-ups, I finally have my new rim and tire combo finished. I decided to go with 285/75/16 BFG All Terrains and 16x8 Cragar rims with 5" of backspace. I also cranked the t-bars a couple turns. I'm a high-schooler and and pretty happy with the set-up and how much I paid.

PS. The tires are Load Range E, and say that they hold 80 PSI. What should I run them at (that just seems very high to me)?

 

good choice in tires. I definatly wouldn't run 80 psi in them, maybe 40-50??

 

Hey, not bad! Wish I had a truck like that in high school. If you cut the air down to about 50psi. the tires will ride smoother. 80psi is only needed when hauling a lot of weight. Don't go too low or you run the chance of getting a blowout, especially in hot weather.

 

should have gotten chrome wheels....

 

i have samd tires and had a few sets 40-45 is the best i have found to wear and ride the best good luck just make sure you rotate and they will last forever

 

Thanks for the advice guys. Like I said in the first post I am in HIGH SCHOOL so chrome wheels were out of the question, the tires alone were expensive. If I had money to blow, sure I'd have chrome wheels, but that's not happening. Don't know about the rest of the high school kids .

 

nice job. i just graduated and i got some new wheels for that. but i had to buy the tires. and you're right, they arent cheap when you have to pay for them. i think mine were like $700 for the tires. and $550 for the wheels
heres a few pics. i love black rims on white trucks

 

looks good; great tire choice! i ran BFG ATs @ 50 PSI for nearly 50K

 

Looks great!
