Default Wider stance

I want to get a wider stance in the front so I was wondering either new rims? Or spacers... Or is there any other way to go?
It's a 2001 4x4 xlt
Anyone have any info??

Got 16x10's on my truck and I love the wider stance the new wheels gave it.

Check the back spacing when buying new wheels

Yours doesn't count. 04+ have a wider stance to begin with. Stock it's pretty even with the fender. 97-03 it's sucked in.

OP. Either new rims with 4.5bs or less or wheel spacers. Are you wanting the stance in front or front and back?

I like the look of the wider stance in the front. But I can't afford the long travel yet haha in the process of saving
But i wouldn't mind the back being the same as the front
I just don't like how it looks all pulled close together because I have a 3 inch body lift on it. From the side it looks fine but looking at it from the front it looks like it could just be pushed over haha
