I've ran them for thousands of miles off road. It comes down to personal preference of the pros (uprated rating, etc.) vs the cons (looking more bling!) I've opted for weight rating to that would help when having a heavily laden truck. I guess blending in might have more to do with how much kit is hanging off the vehicle rather than the wheels it's on? Hi Dale

Not forgetting the want to atleast try and blend your vehicle in with the locals and other people around are driving. Wolf wheels just seem a way to advertise how expensive your truck is and how great it would be to rob the owner of it... Personally I'd keep it simple, stick with the old steelies!

Very good site and interresting info, look & feel. About your question and standard rim 5.5 x 16. Please take a look here: http://www.offroadreifen.com/gutachten/1810075180-4-LR95.pdf It is possible to have 235/85 R 16 mounted on standard rims 5 ½ J x 16 ET 33, with two remarks: a) speed index and tyre load index must be equal or better than in the papers b) your vehicle serial number muts fit to the condition "e11*96/79*0086*--" Hope it helps. Regards, Bernd Ciao ilmulo,

Later disc brake axles with narrow drive members have the longer wheel studs but early drum brake rear, disc brake front axles with wide drive members have the short studs that require changining .
