its whatever you want man.
not my truck just a google search. 2001 dodge ram ex cab
i cant get a good picture of my truck to load but i have a couple ehhh... pics on this profile to compare to.

The picture you shared is exactly what i'm looking for. That looked go and just wide enough. Except I wanna beefier tire, more off road type.

Nitto makes good tires. and Mickey Thompson baja mtz are nice but i paid a pretty penny for mine. good beefy tires are going to be expensive. (I know its late to throw this out there but) If you want a good wide stance your best bet is to get some offset wheels. a -4 or -6 would be plenty wide. My truck has wheels with a 0 offset and they are wider than stock. they arent quite as wide as the truck that turbo2332 showed you. I would get some 12.50 tires and if you dont think its wide enough get different wheels with a negative offset that fit those tires and are the same size. I.E. if you get a 33/12.50/16 tire make sure the new wheels would be 16s

To achieve offset wheels, do I just need different rims, or is it something specific with the wheels. Or is the offset gonna be within the wheel size? And I'll look at the 33/12.50/16s and see how they look.

Offset is is an additional measurement to wheel size, generally specified in millimeters. The 0 offset wheel 12valvin2013 mentioned has the mounting surface exactly in the center of the width of the wheel. The -4 wheel is offset outboard, which is to say, the mounting surface is 4mm closer to the inside (engine side) than the outside of the rim, essentially taking the same width wheel and stepping it out for a wider track. A positive offset obviously would be the opposite; say... a +4 wheel, would be sunk deeper into the wheelwell than a 0 or -4. What you're looking for is probably a 16x8 wheel with a -4 or -6 offset. Or, you can get longer wheel studs and 4 or 6mm wheel spacers and accomplish the same thing, but it's generally frowned upon... they can have a tendency to loosen up.

For Example, in the link below, would these rims fit my truck? As far as bolt pattern goes.
