Over the cab amber lights

First, I'd say do not run wheel spacers anywhere near that thick EVER. 1/4" is all I would ever consider safe. 2" is asking to die.

Also, I would not invest in any 10" wide wheel until you are lifted.

I can't find a cheaper wheel that brings tire out as much as I want. Something like 1 inch past the fenders. After some cheap steelies. Or maybe I'm looking in the wrong places lol.

Better stock up on wheel bearings and stay away from aluminum spacers...;)

A 10" wheel on a 10.5" tire is going to look stupid. If you want your tires to stick out then just get wheels with the right backspacing/offset.

I'd get a 16x8 with ~4" of backspacing if you want them to stick out. Most lifts require 4.5" or less so you might as well get the right ones now. Be prepared to trim though. The crank and block isn't necessary for 265s, and 285s just need a little crank. That block is doing nothing but giving you axle wrap and making your back end stick up too high. That last part is just my opinion of course.

And I would avoid spacers.

Probably get them cheaper elsewhere.

Edit: x2 on wheel spacers. Just get the right back spacing.
