16x7 steel rims vs 16x8 stock alloy

[ductape]

Is it just for looks? It gives that tall and skinny look if you put narrow tires?

Would it be possible to fit the 285/75 revos on the 16x7 ? or the 265 would be better?


I have seen people group ordering the 16x7 Unique wheels and they look pretty nice, but what size/tire are you running on them?

Thanks

Bridgestone recommends a 7.5-9" rim with those 285 tires but I think mounting them on 7" rims will work fine. If it was me, I would just stick with the factory alloys.

16x7 will work.

I prefer 16x8 -- which is what I have on my rig now -- black steel wheels.
I'm running 315s, so that could be considered a bit narrow.

I've heard that a narrower rim will help hold a bead better than a wider rim.

Yup, redneck beadlock.
