Or... you could just mount them on your OEM stock 5.5" steel or 6" alloy rims.
'02 Chezuki Tracker with a 2 Liter and 5spd.  It works for me!!!

I thought about mounting it on the stock alloys, but 9.5 wide seems too wide, isn't it?

I had my 30 x 9.50s on stock rims and they were fine but when I switched to 15x7, the on road handling and stability was much better.  Don't for 15x8 or you will loose the bead when airing down lower than 15-18psi.

I picked up a ford f150 7.5 wide aluminum rims.  They're quite heavy duty, if I had a lathe I'd skim a bit off to save some weight.  Now to go get the tires
