I have a set of 315/75/16's on the truck now, like new. What size rim would work for this?

16"

Are you asking width? 8-10" is a good range. Careful on the back spacing, even more so on teh wider wheels. Are you lifted?

I am lifted some. Have what looks like a 4 inch lift maybe? I need to post some pics so I can figure it out. The wheels clear now barely with the torsion bars cranked. What would you suggest for width and backspacing?

skinny and less back spacing will be better if it just clears now on stockers (stockers right?)

I always bring up myself as an example. I run over 6.5" lift on my tahoe, wheels were 17x8 with 4.5" back spacing wrapped in 35x12.5 tires. They rubbed sometimes. I still needed to trim the inner fenders on teh back side.

The wider the wheel the worse it will get

They are not stock rims. I have some pictures of the lift I'll post tomorrow morning. I'll also take pictures of the rims. They are deep dish and rather wide. I appreciate you helping me out.

If I measure rim width lip to lip it looks like an 11" rim.

If I am not mistaken that is an American Racing AR 136 (they used to be chrome with a clear coat). I had a set on my dime. Nice light wheels.

Could be either a 16x8 or 16x10. both of which have a 4.5" back spacing. Do you have a picture of the front of the truck? Like a head on shot? This will maybe help see how far they stick out now

As for measuring the width I want to say width is from where the beads set. 11" might be a 10" wheel. Can you also get me a whole shot of the truck? 1) just want to see 2) you may have no issue with a x10 if those turn out to be a x8.

I can get you a shot when I get back from NO. I bet they are 16x10's. I wouldn't mind going to a narrower rim if it help with the rub. Any ideas on the lift as well? Trying to figure out what I have with it too.
