If I had the money to buy wheels, I would get the Mickey Thompson Classic Lock.
 I really like the Parnelli Jones tires as well. I have been very satisfied with them.

I'm about to install a 6" lift in my 72 4x4. I bought a set of Eagle Alloys 058 (http://www.aewheel.com/wheels_detail.cfm?id=23) off eBay for $350 shipped. I'm going with 35x12.5 Pro Comp Mud Terrains because they are on sale right now (buy 3 get one free). I'll get pics when everything is on (hopefully by the 4th).

i would go 16 or 16.5 rims x10-12" wide and if not going up more in lift go with a 35x14.5" tire is my opinion as far as sizes. 40 inch tires i doubt would fit with any fender left.

I think Weld makes one of the best looking wheels. Go to their web site. I am running 35x15.50's on 16.5x12 Weld Typoons. PJ's or SSR's would be nice on a set of Welds.

Daughter has a 4 and a 3 on hers and she has lots of room for 35's. I always wanted to take the body lift off.

I've read you can mount a 35x12.5 on an 8" rim but it cause the tire to 'bow' so to speak in the middle and you will wear the tire out in the middle faster (because it isn't flat). A 10" rim will work fine for a 12.5".

12" rims will be a problem with the 4" front lift. I doubt you'll be able to go any wider than 10" rims, 8's would be safe.
I have always liked the looks of the M/T Classics and Weld Stone Crushers. Eagle makes a Stone Crusher knock off at about half the price. As far as tread, do you want streetable, mud, or aggressive. Are they just for looks or for performance? I like the look of the Swamper SSR and TrXus STS. I've always liked the setup that IGOR (board member on CK5.com) has on his Blazer. I think his rims are 17" and his tires are 35's. I think he has 8" of lift though. The pic is his rig.

THANX BOUNCER, I WAS GOING 2 BUY 12" WIDE
 BUT NOW I WILL LOOKAT STAYING WITH 10'S, NOT A HARD CORE OFF ROADER, I WANT IT TO LOOK MEAN AND AGRESSIVE, BUT I DON'T WANT SOMETHING LIKE BOGGERS. I AM A FAN OF THORNBIRDS, BAJA CLAWS, AND ONE OF THE PROCOMP MODELS.

X-terrain? I have neighbor running them on his 79 f150. Look good and seem to have good road manners. I like the road manners of my 35" bfgs ATs. The bias ply 33" swampers I had were in a nut shell, horrible. But ya gotta like the look. The 35" bias ply ground hawgs on my 71 seem good. No flat spots and balanced fairly nice.

I SAW THOSE VT, I THINK THEY ARE THE COOL, BUT I LIKE THE MUD GRAPPLER
BETTER, BUT IT IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN 18" RIM SIZE AND THE SELECTION OF 18" RIMS OUT THERE IN THE MARKET RIGHT NOW KINDA SUCKS IMO. :p

Tires
That's the one I was talking about...the mud grappler.
If you can wait untill next year, I'd be willing to bet they introduce some 16 & 17 inches tires on the market. The search continues for that perfect combo...
