What about r/t wheels (not mentioning since i have a set on mine)? They will
defiantly fit your truck as well as te stock tire size. If you want a more
agressive look lower the truck mildly and find a set of r/t flares and there you
go. I'm not going to deny that the tires are expensive (yes 160 up) but they
would look good. You might be able to go with a larger 17" tire and fill-up the
wheel well without lowering the truck at all. Just a thought and you still will
pay alot for the wheels but you should definatly find them cheaper than around
200 a wheel. Hope this helps and good luck.
