Nitto 295/50/20
8.5X20
bolt pattern 6X5.5
I just purchased Belltech shackles to bring the rear end down 2" to level it.

well as far as the rim size goes...
the rockstar's only come in 20's for 1/2 ton trucks and above...
KMC also makes an 18" rockstar but the offset is so ridiculous your tires would be completely outside of your tire wells
If you want an A/T tire, BFG and Nitto are really nice
Price wise...Pro comp Extreme a/t are pretty sweet too

i would also say 20x8.5 rims with a 6x5.5 bolt pattern
im guessing your not going to do much off roading so go with an AT in that 295/50/20 size
I would suggest the NItto Terra Grappler for you they will look great and are good on road. if you want a more aggressive tire than go with the STT they cant be beat
as for tires look here onlinetires.com because the tire rack does not have cooper or nittoPETE
