what wheel and tire combo should I go with

I'm not sure if I want to go w/ a leveling kit or the 5" tuff country lift???......and what wheel/ tire combo?? 305's or 315's??? 35X12.50's ????........16X10 or 16X8's or 16.5's??? Or what lift would look best with what wheel and tire combo??? I keep getting different opinions from different buddies........

I have a friend with a '96 F-250 and he has American Racing Baja's (16.5's) and I think they'll bolt on to my truck??? We tried and it looked fine, bolted on fine...I think....They'll work right??? Anyway, he said he'd sell me the set of 4 for $100...minus centercaps......not too shabby.

I'm just having trouble deciding what to go with and what will look good and work with what.......

Thanks,
-Ryan

This is my favorite Ram wheel. It also has the correct +20mm offset so you won't kill your wheel bearings. It's 18", strong (3420 lb weight rating) and less that $200 a piece. Put on some killer Toyo M/T mud terrain tires and you're set.
