I am looking at getting a set of aftermarket wheels for my '02 ctd, and I need some help in selecting them. First off, I have a 2" leveling kit, and will be running a set of 315x75R16 BFG all terrains. I am looking at getting 16x8 or maybe a 16x10. I am looking at all cast wheels, since anything forged is way out of my price range. I will be keeping my stock wheels and E range tires for towing heavy loads, so I dont think the strength loss of the cast wheels is a big concern.

Mainly what i need to know is what backspacing should i get to help clear the 35" tires? And the stock wheels are hub-centric right? Should I look for an aftermarket hub-centric wheel? If so, anyone know which wheels are hubcentric? Any input is appreciated!

Is my '02 2500 4x4's lug lug pattern 8on170?

Also, does anyone know what the best backspacing, or offset works best to clear the fenders and suspension with 35's and a 2" leveling kit?

I am looking at a couple Pro Comp wheels, both are cast wheels. I like the series 1059 and 1079. They have 4.5" backspacing, and 2mm offset, is this ok? I also like the moto metal MO951's. They are 4.53 in backspace and 12mm offset.

Also, none of these wheels are hub-centric. Is that ok? I beleive the stock wheels are, right? All these wheels are listed at over 3k pounds capacity each.

Stock wheels are hub-centric. The best back spacing is approximately half with width of the wheel, since it balances the forces. One with too much or too little backspacing will put a lot of pressure on either the outer or inner wheel bearings, causing premature failure.
With 315's, and 8" wheels, with proper back spacing, and a leveling kit, you will only rub on the control arm in tight turns. I have heard of people running 315's with no leveling kit, with no fender rubbing, but they still rub the control arms in tight turns.
If you go with 10" wide wheels, everything else the same, you will rub the inner fenders in turns, with the outer edge of the tire. I had 10" wide rims on my 99, with 305/70's, and had to have a leveling kit to clear the fenderwells, but then it wasn't by much. All lift on truck was, and is, stock, except for the leveling kit.
