Thumbs up How much clearance required??

Hey all, I just got a set of brand new Mickey Thompson ATZ 375/65/16s (36-15.50) for a steal! I need to know what offset I will need for a 12" wheel, and the least lift that will function properly but not look stupid. Anyone with pictures of such a setup?
Thanks for any help!!

How will you fit 16 inch tires on the truck in your sig? 17s fit as close to the brakes as you can get.

Yeah... 16" rims won't work... So, hopefully you can sell them for more than you bought them for...

You should.. You'll have to sell them on a Chevy website since they are the only ones who can run 16"s... We all know how stupid they are for buying Chevy's!!! hahahaha....

Just Kidding!!!

But good luck selling them!

So maybe I should post a classified ad here for those year trucks.

Try using a tire stretcher. If it doesn't work, it won't cost you anything.
