I'm starting to order stuff to build my F-150 and I don't know what size rim to get. I'm stuck between a 16x8 and a 16x10. I'm either gonna run 35x12.5 PJ Dirt Gripz or 315 BFG MT.

On one hand, the 8 inch rim will make the tire a little taller, but it will also make it "bow" in narrower. On the other hand, the 10 inch will make the tire nice and wide, "square" almost, but a little shorter in diameter.

When you put a pencil to it, it's only a smidge over an inch in height difference, but I'm the kind of guy that notices stuff like that.

I'm really leaning towards the 16X10, but was curious what y'all think?

I like skinny wheels. Cause the tires don't fall off.

Get the wide rims and save the wear on your tires.
Kopecki doesn't care since all the tires he buys are already used up.
