lol yeah but i knew i would have 35s.
i just dont like the 10s for wheeling, when you air down and the chance of poping a bead gets good.
but i like the look and all. just not great for wheelin.

in other words..if you like a wide stance go with 10s if you want to stick out a lil but still be tucked and wheel go 8s
but id go 33*12.50s without a doubt

its from the inside lip.
i had a really good picture that described all that but i cannot find it.

WRONG! haha... Good try though.
235 is the section width (width of the sidewall at it's widest point)
75 is the aspect ratio (the hieght of the sidewall from the top off the rim to the top of the tire. It is a a percentage of the Section width)
and 15 is obviously the diameter of the wheel.
SO:
(235mm * (75% * 2) / 25.4) + 15 = Your tire's Overall Diameter of 28.9"
(235mm / 25.4) = Your Tire's Sectioin Width of 9.25"
Hope that helps

After your body lift, I'd slap a set of 32x11.5R15 on there. But I also like the 33x10.5R15. That's a toss up...
You could probably clear them faily well now if you cranked your torsion bars (something I don't really reccommend), but with a body lift you'd never rub with those rims.
I like those rims, btw.
I think a set of 33x10.5R15 would look dang good on your truck. BFGoodrich has the 33x10.5 in either a mud terrain or an all terrain. Both of those are good tires. Same with the 32x11.5
I wouldn't go wider than 11.5" on tire width on your stock 7" rims. While the 12.5" wide tires will mount up fine (although some places won't do it), that wide of a tire on that narrow of a rim will wear the center tread out early.
I never have been just real eager to ditch my factory aluminum rims. They are nice looking, light weight, and generally keep the tires under the fenders better than aftermarket rims which equals less rocks & debris down the side of my truck.

I have a 15x8 wheel with a 3.75" backspace that lines up a "10.50"-wide tire perfectly with the fender flares, Idk what the laws in MN are, but a "12.50"-wide tire should only stick out 1" from the flare and it will look really good.
MAKE SURE YOU GET ALUMINUM WHEELS if you buy any wheels, becuase you will definitely regret buying steel wheels.

Here's a search I did on Summit Racing's site, hope it works...

I never really fell in love with the wide stance look, so I think a 10.5" - 11.5" wide tire is plenty wide for most uses. But then again, I think my tires stick out too much in the front because my spindle life increased the track width a little. Mud under the fenders is good. All along the side of my door and side windows is fun sometimes, but gets old when every little puddle you hit plasters the side of the truck.
Your truck will probably end up a good inch or so higher than mine is now. I would recommend the 33x10.5R15, but the 33x12.5R15 would also work well without rubbing. Go with the wider ones if you're wanting to get new rims like the other guys are suggesting.
Here's a pic of 32x11.5R15 on stock 15" rims
Also, gearing will also start coming into the picture when you start looking at 32"+ tall tires. It's not so easy to get these tires rolling (and stopped) as it is with little stock tires. Be prepared for a noticable loss in acceleration and the ability to hold overdrive on hills. Pray that you have 4.10 gears already in your axles...
