Hey wandell I got two more questions for you.

1. With the whee being .5 inches smaller than recommended, you said the wear might be uneven, but will there be any other side effects?
2. What pressure should I run the tire at?
And thanks for all the help.

Uneven wear should be your only concern. I would try 40psi to start with, for daily driving. I would not go below 35psi for daily driving.

After you said they were a little wide, all i could see was them just coming off the wheel. I am going to get some aftermarket ones. I like these http://www.4wheelparts.com/4wp/produ...=Wheels&man=DC which would i need. I think its the first one, not sure though. Do I have to take in account for how the spindle lift will make the tires stick out some more?

The link opened 4Wheel Parts homepage. What wheels are you considering? WIth lift spindles, I'd stick with an 8 inch wide wheel.

It was the **** cepek wheels or mickey thompson classic. I was looking at nitto's website and it list the recommended wheel for the 285 as the same as the 295, so really the only "true" tire would be a 265. So like you said I should be ok with the 295. I mainly needed to know the bolt patern but I think its 5-135. The backspacing on the mickey thompson is 3.75 or 4.4375 and on the dc its 4.03 or 4.52.

Yeah, your bolt pattern is 5x135mm. With a lift spindle, I'd want more backspacing (as long as it's approved by your spindle's manufacturer).

I think 4.5 inches would be fine.

I'd say they are pretty comparable in quality.
