Good deal. $80 for a full set of rims. Good find. I've been looking on craigslist the past couple of days for some newer tires lol.

I guess a good start would be to see what stock size is for your truck and go from there. also, it will depend on the "Look" you want. some put bigger in the back and smaller in the front. how much rubber do you want showing? what size are these rims? whats the width? do you want All Season tires or do you want to switch from summer and winter tires? is your truck lowered? Raised? 4x4? Nice score btw!
