What size wheel?

I'm thinking of putting some 51 Series Rock Crawlers on my stock 4Runner but I am not sure of the specs. I am running 265/70R16 Dueler AT Revos. My questions are:

1. Do I go with a 16x7 or 16x8 wheel?
2. What is the backspacing - 3.75 or 4.25?

Also, who has the best prices for YotaTech members?

Thanks

Most go with a 16x8 wheel.

The less backspacing, (3.75 compared to 4.25), the further they will stick out. Id personally get the 3.75" backspaced wheels, as I like a wider stance.

summitracing.com has some of the best prices I've seen. My buddy got his for $50/wheel + free shipping. Discount tires have them for about the same price as well.

Lastly, they are produced by quite a few manufactures. Cragar makes and sells them for cheap on summitracing, American Racing also makes the AR-767 which is what I have.

Thanks for the info. I think I'd prefer the wider stance as well so I'll go with the 3.75 backspacing.

Also, aesthetically, should I go with Black or silver lugs?

Id go black... I tried having center caps that where chrome, and it looked funny.
