►So frustrating! what's the perfect wheel? Where to get it?
I've spent hours researching fricken wheel combinations, back spacing, off set, wheel width, my mind is mush now.
I know I'm beating a dead horse
I want to run 16x10 305/70/16's for a few reasons.
A. I want the clearence
B. They will tuck nicely under a Zone 4.5 sus liftj (coming soon)
C. I want to keep as much power as possible.
D. 33's a little cheaper.
I know I should be no more than 4.5 backspacing (well, i think so anyways) have no idea on the offset. I do want them to stick out a bit, not ridiculous like a mall cruiser.
Finding a wheel with 6 items of criteria, is proving most difficult.
1. Wheel size
2. Wheel width
3. Bolt pattern
4. Backspaciong
5. Off set
6. AAAARRGGGGG!
As soon as I find 3 of the 6 somethings wrong, wrong backspage, wrong bolt pattern......bla bla bla.
Surely someone is running exactly what I'm looking for, just hoping someone can point me in the right direction on the definitive wheel specs that will be "as perfect" for what I describe, and a place to buy the fricken things. So frustrating.

Most sites have a list of specs that you can choose from just as you mentioned. I got my wheels from rimzoneonline.com I think its called.
Start with bolt pattern 5 x 135
Next is diameter 16"
Width 10"
Start looking down that list first. Find a few you like, then decide on offset. Most aftermarket wheels will have a backspacing of 4.5" but offset will vary and inch or two I was set on getting -12 offset but i loved my wheels and settled with -5 and they still look great. As long as it has a little bit of offset, itll stick out further than stock, especially on a 10" wide wheel.

I have something close to what you are looking for. 16x10 with -24mm offset. I will get a pic on here in a minute. See if you can find Bryan95 on here. He has 16x10's with -36mm backspacing and I want them. LOL

Just what I want.
What size tire is that? I've got 285/75/16's I'd rather them not look stretched, but they come out to 11.22 inches so I'm thinking ill be ok.
