M1009 Wheel Questions..

[HOWEY]

I have my eye on a set of 15" slotted black steel wheels, im hoping to upgrade to 35x12,5x15 tyres also.
My question is what width should i go for and with what backspace also.
Im looking for a "chunky" look but not sticking out too far either
Was browsing this site stateside... Wheel Finder - Truck & Jeep Wheels, Off Road Wheels, Cast & Steel Wheels

Thanks in advance..

Do you mean what size metal wheel width? I think in the other thread you said you were already running 12.5" wide tires already right? If so the wheel wouldn't change.

Wheel width suggestions..

Yes thats right, am i correct in saying the oem cucv wheels are 15x8"?
Im thinking that a larger width say 15x10" would give me a wider stance??
Is anyone running a staggered set up...wider rears??
Also i think 35x12.5 has a wider footprint than my current tyres 33x12.5 is this correct? thats why i asked for suggestions
Many thanks.

No they are both 12.5" wide and therefore have the same footprint.

You'd want about a 3.5 to 4" backspacing. The stock 15x8's had 4" of backspacing so this would push your rim out 2" basically.

Personally I prefer 15x8's for that width wheel but it's my preference for wheeling, not looks.
