a few quick questions

hi all

I am looking to buy these http://www.truckaddons.com/Catalog/s...oss_black.html

the 16x9 5 bolts but was wondering if it would be difficult to find 32' tires to fit the 9' width of the wheels

also was wondering what the metric size is for 32/1050r16 and 32/11.50r16
thenks

A 265/75/16 will fit but the approved rim width for it is 7" to 8" so you will be pushing the limits of it due to the width of the rim. A 285/75/16 would be a more ideal choice because it has an approved rim width of 7.5" to 9".

A 265/75/16 is a 32/10.50/16.
A 285/75/16 is a 33/11.50/16.
