16-8 5"bs rear
16-6 4"bs front

255/50-16 rear
225/55-16 front

looks like i coulda squeezed a 8.5" rim in the back with possibly a 265 50 but i know its gettin close to the leafs. that front size fit perfect with the front fenders on my set up. i probably coulda went 6.5 with 4.75"bs but i didnt and im still happy with the combo
i really didnt want that turtle look hence the rim and tire combo i am runnin
