Default lightnig wheels

look to buy a set of factory lightning wheels to put on my truck. it is 4x4 so I was wondering if they will fit and what the largest tire you could put on them. ive got 315/75/16's on my truck now. I know that lightning wheels are 18 so I would have to buy new tires. and if anybody has pics with them on a 4x4 would be awesome. thanks

. I've seen it done, they will fit. Look pretty sweet on a lifted truck

fit might have been the wrong choice of words. with the wheels I have now the tires are stuffed under the wheel well. I want them to stick out a little more. which would be more offset I believe, correct me if im wrong. I always get confused on the positive negative offset stuff. im hoping that the lightning wheels will help with that. if not I will deal with it, I like the wheels enough to get over it. plus I don't know where I could get another set off wheels that I really like for 400 bucks.

No they won't stick out, they fit about the same as stock, maybe a tad wider. If you're wanting them to poke out, you're looking for some negative offsets
