You can fit 33x12.50s on an 8in rim, and I personally love the look of em on a little ranger (even though I have 15x10s). If not, just get 11.50s, metric are something like 285/75r16
O yea, white letters out, unless you have a black truck going for all black look, white letters add dimension to your tires, it looks a lot better.

I dont think they offer the black w/machined lip in a 16x10...only the all black, polished, and chrome are offered in a 16x10. I could be wrong, so just check into it. That wheel is on national back order, I was told that it would take 3 months to get it, thats why I have the wheels that are currently on my truck. The guy at 4wheelparts told me that it would probably take longer then 3 months. If you want to get on the list/order the wheels you will have to pay half up-front and then wait 3 months or more for them which I wasnt willing to do...just giving you a heads up.

offset is measured from the center of the wheel to the mounting surface
backspacing is measured from the inside edge of the wheel to the mounting surface.
as the backspacing number gets smaller the wheel sticks out further which means the offset goes negative.
so if the offset is positive the backspacing is larger causing the wheel to stick in more.
wider stance for a low backspacing and negative offset.
here is what throws all that off though.
you could have a 12" wide wheel, a 5.5" backspacing and a -25.4mm offset and the wheel will be pretty much centered.
hope that helps
