I have a 72 C10 that is factory height. I currently have stock rims and tires on but want to get new rims and wider tires.

Can I get some thoughts, opinions and advice on tires and rim choice?

Tires: 275/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/A
Question: what is a cheaper tire that is comparable to the BF Goodrich and also looks good?

Rims: American Racing Baja 15x8 with a -19 offset (http://www.americanracing.com/wheel/10351/ar172-baja)
Or: U.S. Wheels 75 Series 15x8 with a -19 offset (https://www.summitracing.com/parts/u...5855/overview/)
Question: Also open to rims that are comparable to the two listed above
As a less expensive tire option, I've bought Cooper Cobras in 275/60/15 and 255/60/15. Another optional size would be 255/60/15 rears and 215/70/15 fronts. There is a Chinese tire call Turbo Tech that has the raised white letter look too.
