This Tire...But What Wheel??
 
Seriously thinking of getting a set of Fierce Attitude MT's. But they look dorky with my stock wheels. So what would look good??

Get Pitbull Rocker Radials. They are great on road compared to most mud terrains. They take a good while to wear. Last longer than BFG km2. Just make sure to get radials. The tires also have sidewall tread that just makes your truck look that much beefier. Im inlove great in snow,mud,sand,road,

Since nobody else hit on this, I will. Wheels need to be chosen based on TWO critical things, WIDTH and BACKSPACE. Everything else is SECONDARY!

Width: how many trucks have you seen rolling 315s on an 8 inch wheel? Sure it fits, but mid way through that tire's life, it's going to be BALD in the middle. What did these people think was going to happen when a 12.5" wide tire was mounted on an 8" wide rim!?! Do you want to save a few bucks on a cheaper/narrower wheel, or do you want to maximize tire contact/wear? So, before asking what rims, a tire size needs to be specified.

Backspace: While this is more imprortant when trying to stuff a 275-50 15 BFG on 10" wheels under my 1967 Mustang than it is on a 4X4, it can be the difference between component contact and full steering on the front. Generally, the generic 4.25 to 4.5 in backspace should be sufficient up to 315 wide tires. My 365s (14.5) scrub the leafs before going full lock.

I agree completely you have to match tires with wheels, it's not just a matter of i want this tire and then i'm going to run this wheel, I am running 40x15.50R22's and the tires call for a minimum of an 11" wide wheel to maintain proper wear characteristics so I went with a 12" wide wheel with a -18 backspacing, i'm not sure exactly what that means but they don't stick out to far past the fender flares and are the look i was going for, because when you get a huge offset you also wear out bearings and ball joints and front end components way faster, the rear end of the vehicle doesn't take quite as much of a beating as the front does when running huge offsets, but it's also harder on the components in the rear when you're towing, etc
