For the guys that know things about wheels.

I don't know much about wheels. I have an 08 fj with 16" offroad wheels. I'm thinking of replacing them with some black AR Chambers. How do I know what backset, width etc.? I have a 3" lift on order and plan to run a little larger tire than stock - thinking about Toyo 33x12.5.

Do i want the 17" x 9" wide rims with backset or 16" narrower rims with none? I've seen some deals online, i just want to make sure i don't order the wrong set-up. Would the 9" wide rims make the stance a little wider? This makes me sounds like an idiot, but i'm not even sure what the offset is - school me will ya?

Re: For the guys that know things about wheels.

The 16 will give you more tire so you can air down lower. I just learned that this week. I went from a 17 to a 16.

Re: For the guys that know things about wheels.

This is the cheapest place I've seen:

Sport Truck Specialty - American Racing - Chamber with TeflonĀ® (Series 3985)

You'll need the part # that ends in 83. Hope that helps.
