Or... you could just mount them on your OEM stock 5.5" steel or 6" alloy rims.

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

That is what we ran on our race car with no problems.  And you can air them way down.

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
