Everyone I ask says they're 16x7 (every piece of literature that I've found says they're 16x6.5)

From what I've read it seems the base style wheels are 16x6.5 and the Z71 style wheels are 16x7. I had though the HDs where 16x7 too. Anyway, I went from a 245 too and it was a big differance, truck looks alot better.

Couple of pics if your intrested. The truck is sitting kind of funny in the second pic.

a friend of mine put them on his truck yesterday and he had to raise the front up alittle, so every truck is different just try is and see at the worst you will have to turn the tor arms up alittle.

Had 285/75 bfg's on my truck no probs even if you have to turn the torsion bars a little bit(1/4-1/2 turn) there wont be a big enough difference in ride quality to make it uncomfortable. Just let a couple of psi out of your tires and that would make up the diff in ride quality.
