Stock wheel size
Are the stock alloy wheels on a 2001 2500 16x8? I want to get the BFG 315 All Terains, and I have heard that a 9" wide rim is recommended. What would the proper offset be with a 16x9" wheel? I have seen a lot of 16x8" wheels, but not many 16x9". Does anyone know of a good source?

Yes, stock alloys are 16x8.
Stock steelies are 16x7 (I think, maybe 16x7.5)
There are many folks running 315's on stock alloys.
They'll wear funny, but they'll work.

I would like to avoid the funny wear pattern if possible. That would shorten the life of the tire wouldn't it? I have not been able to find 9" wide wheels in the 16" diameter. If I go to a larger diameter, there are some 9" wide wheels, but I will NOT put on taller wheels. I think that looks good on lowered 2wd trucks, but not 4wd. I will ordered my 2" leveling kit today, so hopefully I won't have to many rubbing issues with the 315s, but if I do it is certainly something I can live with.

I'm running 315 buckshot mudders on my stock steel wheels with no issues. They are wearing fine the sidewall does bulge a little nothing to worry about, in fact it keeps me from ever rubbing my super sweet steel rims.
