I plan on putting a 3 inch body on my 2000 Z71 and I was wondering just how much tire I can get under my truck. Also, will I be able to put 16x10's on it or will I have to go with 16x8's. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanx

YOU SHOULD GO WITH 16X10" RIMS. IF YOU GO LESS THAN THAT THE TIRES WILL LOOK WIERD BECAUSE THE RIMS ARNT WIDE ENOUGH. ALSO I WOULD GO WITH A 33" TIRE. IT WILL LOOK GREAT.... JOHN76360@CS.COM

I am almost sure that 16x10's are incompatible unless yo are running over a 6" Lift. None of the lift companies recommend more than 8.5-9" wheel for a 6" Lift. ------------ JOHN at 1/7/2002 9:48:48 PM

Hi Brian, My name is Luke and I have a 2001 Siverado and I had a 3" Body lift to start out with. At first I had 16x8 ultra wheels with 305x70x16 Goodyear Wrangler AT/S tires but i wanted wider wheels that hung out. So i sold my 16x8 wheels and ordered 16x10 ultra wheels with the same tires. With the 16x8's, it would have easily cleared a 315x75x16 but with the 10" wide wheels the 305's rubbed a very little only when I had the wheel cut all the way and hit a large bump. I now have added a 6" RCD and 37" SSR's and I love it. It rides and drives just like it did stock. It looks great and gets alot of looks. If you have any ?'s contact me at ramblin_man@hotmail.com
