I really want the 16x10 wheels because sometime in the near future, I plan on doing a liftkit and that wheel would be perfect for some Super Swampers. Any suggestions out there? By chance, any pics?

Thanks for everyone's input. It really helped.
Right now I am mostlikely going to do 16x10 rims (haven't picked what kind yet) and 305/70/16 BFG MT's. I know I'll have to do a little trimming and even break down (against my better judgement) and crank the t-bars a little. I pretty sure this set up will work; however, if anyone out there has an opinion (pro or con), let me know. Thanks again for everyone's help. I'll try to get some pics up asap.

I am running the 16x8 with 285/75/16 and have never had any problems with rubbing of any sort and have NOT had to trim my front valance either however since the 305/70/16 is a 33x12.50 and was not being made when i got my current tires i will be getting them next time i need tires so if a bit of valance trimming is needed that is not a big deal. The 285.75.16 is a 33x11.00 from what i have been led to understand.
