Default What Wheels FIT? 2500HD

Ok, I have bin lookin at wheels for my truck. What wheels fit? Somebody said 16X10's rub?

I really want as wide a rim as I can fit reasonably. I would like a 16X10 if they fit right. Also, do 15's fit at all?

Thanks,
Ryan K.

It all depends on a couple things, suspension lift and back spacing. Do you plan on a lift? If not, a 16x8 with a minumum BS of 4.5 is all you can run with a 285 being the best fit and a 305 with some torsion bar leveling. If you plan on a lift and want to run a 16x10 wheel then you better plan on a 6" lift with the 305's for best clearance. You could probably fit the 315 on 10's but I'm pretty sure you will have rubbing issues and have to use a torsion lift with the 6" lift. BS is the key to fitting wheels on the HD's. I don't think 15's will clear the brakes on the HD's but if your spending $$$ on wheels/tire your money would be better spent on 16's or 17's!

If your stock. You can fit a 16x8 with 285/75/16's. If your lifted 4" or more you can go to a 16x10. I tried running a 16x10 before my lift and it rubbed bad with 33's.
