The rim width is only 7 inches, you can find the rockcrawlers or equivalent on www.summitracing.com or usually your local tire store can obtain them. The backspacing if I am not mistaken is 4.5 but dont qoute me on that.

ahhh sorry you have 16's stock your a 2003 opps my bad. ok first 2 options listen

1) (strongly STRONGLY recommend this) BUY NEW 15x8 rims YES aftermarket rims will work fine 100% fine. then get 32x11.5x15 tires you suprisinly will save money if you hunt around for the rims

2) the really expansive one. ok buy a 265x75x16 OR 285x75x16 tires the 265 will fit with out ANY touching to the truck at all. now the 285 people have them to fit will out touching the t-bars but i recommend a slight 1-2 turns on it to give better clearness this will NOT hirt anything. have fun...

not all older one's yes but late 2003 4x4's have the larger brakes and with STOCK 15's they will not work but aftermarket works fine...

I haven't looked into pricing on 285's, but you're saying that it'd be cheaper to buy rims and 32's instead of the 285's?
