I'd only get the hub-centric ones.

Try www.spidertrax.com for the spacers--I had them for a while (There might still be a How To on here or on ---). As for tires--I love my Dueller REVOs, might want to also look at the new BFGs-I think they are "Rugged Terrain"

I ran 31.10.50 falken ziex on an 11 and 11.5 staggered wheel setup and the truck handled awesome. For a truck. Lol

Unfortunately they did me no good off road. Thats why i didnt keep them.

I have stock rims. That is why I went with LUGcentric ones that are in the link I posted.

If you have aftermarket rims you run HUBcentric ones. These have a lip that fits inside the hub of where you rim sits. Alot of front wheel drive cars run the hub ones.

I had to take them off since discount tire won't work on a vehicle with them since they don't want the liability of stupid people. I don't blame them. They are in my truck and I will put them back on when he weather gets nicer. It's too cold to torque and retorque them.
