Another comment. You said you'd go with a 16x8 and a 33x12.5. My 305/70's are the metric equivalent of a 33x12.5. They can work on a 8" rim, but a 10" rim is better. Biggest consideration is what tire combo you might consider in the future. If you ever wanted to run larger tires, you want the 10" rim size now. If you think you might run a more stock tire size in the future, stick with the 8" rim size.
