    Here's what I picked

    The 285/50-20's ended up getting my vote. Here's how it turned out....





    FWIW, these Viscera 777 wheels wheren't totally bolt-on. I had to convert from the allen-cap screw in the hubs to hex, then grind off nearly half of their head profile for the wheels to hit the backing plate. (Longer studs and spacers would have been another option -- or machine shop to remove about 3/16" from the inside bore depth.)

    I also had to modify a bit of the wheel well. Hope you enjoy.

    Looks good, and glad you were able to get the wheel fitment issue sorted out for the wheels you wanted.
