[Diamond33]

I have searched for days and cant find the answer, i just ordered mb wheels brand new tko wheel. 16x8.5 4in bs and i have a tt/shackle lift and brand new 265/75/16 kumho at tires. i wanna use the tires and ive started trimming but does anybody have any pics or input on this subject? id like to see some pics of tt/shackle lift on a 2nd gen sport 16 INCH but wouldnt mind seeing pics of any aftermarket wheels and tire sizes with tt/shackle lift. ONLY AFTERMARKET WHEELS please there is already plenty on this site about what will fit with stock wheels.

Your wheel choice is not that different from stock. 8.5 is an odd width, I guess. Not many people get 16" aftermarket wheels, though. Your wheel choice is so close to stock, I think you'll get enough information from the stock wheel/tire choice. Your wheel is a little wider is all, but not by a huge difference that it's going to require a special amount of attention.

You may also want to request that people only post pictures of 16x8.5 aftermarket wheels with the EXACT tires you bought also. Tire tread will probably make more of a difference than the wheels you chose in this instance since the wheels are practically the same as stock size.

Don't be disappointed if nobody has pictures of the exact wheel/tire combo you have, though.

Just for a reference I have BFGoodrich AT's 265/75/16 and I cranked my torsion bars, still rub at full turn. I took my 16's off the ranger since tires were already on them. My bald passenger tire does not rub obviously due to tread being bald. Need to get a new tire. It's the stupid mud flap.

Did you get your wheels in yet? I am on the fence about ordering new rims myself.
