The fit is not bad it was in the truck when I got it so we left it. It is alittle wider then I would like and its 6 lug. So as far as wheels and tires go you really have to get the right off set to make it tuck under if your going lower. Im probably going to run a 235-60-15 tire again, its what i ran the first time and it looked fine. If your doing a high power strip truck I probably would recomed something alittle more nerrow just to get some more width out of the tires. Im not building a 1/4 mile truck so traction is not a huge issue with me. If it wasnt already on the truck I probably would have went with something alittle narrower.
