I have an '03 that is soon to get a PML and a 2" BL. I currently run 265/75 R16 tires on the stock wheels, but the silver wheels just don't fit with the oh-so glorious orange. I found some black wheels in the style I like but the only size I can get them in that's close is 8" wide (compared to the stock 7") with a 5" backspace (5.5" stock). I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out if they're going to push my tires further out, and if so, how much? Will I run into clearance issues?

Thanks in advance.

With 5" BS that will stick the tire out 0.5" further than stock 5.5" BS.

A wider rim does not necessarily matter because most of the time the tire will be wider than rim itself. For example: I have a 8" wide rim, but my tire is 11.5" wide.

With a 2" BL you usually won't run into clearance issues until you go bigger than a 285/75 (roughly 33x12.5") tires, and less than 5" BS.

In short with your current tire and 5" BS with your new rims you won't come close to clearance issues.

Thank you very much, Tompson. That's what I had thought, but I wasn't 100% sure.
