I love the looks of the Soft 8's too, and I kinda wanna put some on my truck BUT they do have a downside. They are a steel wheel and will add some weight to the tires which may result in a lil power loss, plus the weight may stress the rearend a bit more under heavy loads. Its not too big of a deal just something to consider.

well 265/75/16s are stock size and they would fit on 16x8 or 16x9 rims.
or you could do 285/75/16. there 33s and you would have to tighten your tbars. 16s are stock rim size and i believe thats the smallest that will fit over the brakes. 18" rims look pretty good but everythings a little more expensive and i dont kno the metric sizes for a 18 rim.

you would not have to crank tbars to run 33s.......

and steel wheels will not result in power lose or stress on the rearend.....

you need some 16x10s btw ......
