ok here ya go. 16x8" steel wheels with 255/85/R16 Toyo M-55 tires. Tires have about 75% tread left. They aren't the greatest pictures because the sun is low in the sky (it's winter, what can I say) and really bright.

There are 5 total. More are here: http://s113.photobucket.com/albums/n210/rlebar/

I'm tempted to go take new pictures... the setting on the camera was not a good choice. And I almost want to pull it into the drieway so the sun isn't casting so many shadows.

Thanks. Yeah it looks good. I'm wondering if an 8inch rim is too wide. I'm trying to pick up some 7inch wide alcoas, I think it would be perfect. Otherwise I'm going to wait and get 17x8 alcoas with 285/75r17

Well according to the Toyo tire chart they suggest a 6.5"-8" rim with the 255s. 7" is recommended.

I'll be honest though, the 8" rim makes the tire look a lot more natural and the tread is not bulging anymore unlike the stocker 6" rims.

I went with the 8" rim too because once I'm done with these tires I'll be going to a 285/75 and the 285/75s like 8" rims the most.
